Prince Archie follows a strict rule when it comes to sitting around the dinner table at home in California, a remark by the Duchess of Sussex has led to believe.
During her previous interview with The Cut in 2022, Meghan Markle shared that she is eager for her children to grow up with impeccable manners – with them learning these at home.
At the time, she revealed that the couple were trying to teach Archie – who is now aged five – that good manners are vital.
Discussing what they tell Archie at home, she told the publication: “We always tell him: Manners make the man. Manners, manners, manners, manners, manners.”

PEOPLE previously reported that Meghan and Harry hoped to give Archie “as normal a life as possible” by relocating to America after stepping back from their roles as senior royals in 2020. The couple went on to welcome daughter Princess Lilibet, now aged three, in 2021.
Speaking to The Cut, Meghan also revealed that Archie – who was three at the time – was already popular with other students.
The proud mum described her son as “the cheerful kid who brings a week’s worth of freshly picked fruit for his fellow classmates and enjoys playing a ‘roaring’ game at recess.'”
Archie was less than one year old when he moved to the US with his parents. He spent the first months of his life at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor.
Having moved away from the realms of royal life, Archie and Lilibet are said to have a “relaxed upbringing” as opposed to Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

Style expert Bella Hignett claimed to GB News that this is evident in the clothing chosen for their children by Meghan and Harry.
She said: “Archie and Lilibet will still have to have a modicum of restraint when dressing. But they will be far less formal. This will be exacerbated by growing up in California where dress is much more relaxed and laid-back.”
Ms Hignett added: “The climate and the fact they won’t have to attend as many formal events means the dress code in general will be more casual.”
