Meghan Markle gets candid about raising kids after Princess Kate’s parenting insight

Meghan Markle is giving fans a rare glimpse into how she parents her two children with her husband Prince Harry.

While accepting the Humanitarians of the Year award at Project Healthy Minds’ 2025 World Mental Health Day Gala on October 9, the 44-year-old Duchess of Sussex opened up about how she and the Duke of Sussex handle social media use when it comes to their kids Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

While speaking to the audience at the high profile event in New York City, the former actress shared, “Our children, Archie and Lili, are just six and four years old. Can you believe it? Luckily, still too young for social media.”

Continuing, she expressed, “But we know that day is coming. And like so many parents, we think constantly about how to embrace technology’s benefits while safeguarding against its dangers. And that hopeful intention of separation is rapidly becoming impossible.”

Meghan’s comments come after Kate Middleton emphasised the importance of stepping away from screens, and focusing on building real connections in her essay, ‘The Power of Human Connection in a Distracted World.’

The Princess of Wales, highlighted the power of presence in her writing, saying, “Look the people you care about in the eye and be fully there, because that is where love begins.”

According to her, the attraction to screen starts at an early age, forming habits in young children and babies that deepen as they grow.

As a mother to three children, Kate noted this is a pivotal time for kids to build social and emotional foundations that will stay with them for life.
