Meghan Markle reveals what life in California is like with telling four-word statement

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry relocated to Montecito in California with their young family in 2020.

Meghan Markle has made a telling statement about what life is really like in California with Prince Harry and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

The couple have now made their base in Montecito following their departure from the Royal Family, and although they are regularly spotted out at engagements for the Invictus Games and other charities, their family life in the Golden State is generally kept under wraps.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have just returned from a three-day trip to Nigeria, where Meghan lifted the lid on her home life and described it simply with four words: “We’re doing just great.”

She told: “[We’re] happy to be watching our family grow up and evolve. Of course, I’m happy. We’re really happy.”

Speaking about her and Harry’s trip to Nigeria, which has a personal place in her heart, the Duchess said: “It’s really meaningful. Just being able to connect to people…that’s what makes it special.”

Meghan revealed in an episode of her podcast Archetypes that she is 43 percent Nigerian, making the visit a particularly poignant one for her.

She spoke on Sunday, which also happened to be Mother’s Day in the US, about how important it was for her to learn about her heritage so that “I’m able to share it with my children.

“That’s such a special thing as a mother to know you can do.”

The couple’s first engagement upon their arrival in Abuja was a visit to the Wuse Lightway Academy, where they spoke with the schoolchildren about the importance of looking after one’s mental health.

The Duchess later told the publication: “I always reflect back on myself as a young girl and the type of inspiration that I wanted to see in other women.

“I hope in some small way I can be a part of that for a lot of these young girls especially. I saw myself in them. I see the potential in all of these young girls — and, by the way, in these young boys as well.

“It’s what we see in our own children — to give them that promise and excitement for their futures.”

The Sussexes celebrated Archie’s fifth birthday earlier this month, with his little sister Lilibet set to turn three in June.

At one point in the tour Meghan went solo as she co-hosted a Women in Leadership panel event alongside the director-general of the World Trade Organization, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, while Harry was at a military hospital in Kaduna.

Dr. Okonjo-Iweala shared her admiration for Meghan, saying: “She’s a role model for young women. She’s a woman who is not in an easy position, and people are looking to see how is she managing and navigating this.

“That’s one of the things she brings: inspiration. You can see in spite of that, she’s a cheerful, warm personality, and everybody in the room took to her.”
