Meghan Markle has shared a number of insights into her Montecito life this year, including never-before-seen photographs of herself and her husband Prince Harry, 40, since quitting royal life in 2020. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, has also not shied away from sharing new information with the public about the couple's children Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four.
As well as revealing what they like for breakfast and some of their favourite activities, Meghan also recently revealed a surprise weekend job that Princess Lilibet and Prince Archie sometimes do. Speaking on the Aspire with Emma Grede podcast earlier this month, the mum-of-two said both Archie and Lilibet are learning the "value" of items.
She then revealed that they sometimes help sell produce from their garden at the local farmer's market on weekends.
As reported by Hello!, Meghan said on the podcast: "We grow a lot of veggies. We sometimes do a little farmer's market stand.
"There's a cost and a price for things, and I think that's key for children to understand, especially children who are very lucky to have a home that has privilege; you need to know that just like manners, and taking care of the things around you, there is a value on things.
"Gardening is really really so great for children because it teaches them patience and teaches them to value and appreciate their food."
It is believed that the family are loving life in Montecito, a Californian town they moved to in 2020 after quitting royal duty in the UK.
Both Meghan and Harry have previously praised their lifestyles in the US, with Harry acknowledging that living in America allowed the family to do normal things that they wouldn't be able to do in the UK, such as attending market days.
Last December, the prince said at The New York Times DealBook Online Summit: "I very much enjoy living here and bringing my kids up here. It's a part of my life that I never thought I was going to live.
"I feel as though it's the life that my mum wanted for me. To be able to do the things I'm able to do with my kids that I undoubtedly wouldn't be able to do in the UK - it's huge.
"That is a fantastic opportunity and I'm hugely grateful for that."
