Since stepping away from royal life, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been focused on raising their son Archie. During her recent interview with The Cut for its fall fashion issue, the Duchess of Sussex shared the adorable motto they often tell their 3-year-old.
"We always tell him: 'Manners make the man. Manners, manners, manners, manners, manners,' " she said. Meghan went to share a sweet story about Archie's budding social life.
The interview notes that "everyone was surprised" when Archie attended a birthday party for one of his preschool classmates. "I was in a bouncy castle, and I saw this 1-year-old inside. I was like, 'Where's your mom?' And this mom on the outside goes, 'Oh, hi! I'm here. I wasn't sure if I should come in,' " Meghan recalled. "I was like, 'Do you need your child? Of course you can come in.'"
Meghan and Prince Harry relocated to California from the UK in 2020 in hopes of giving Archie "as normal a life as possible." They went on to have a daughter Lilibet Diana in June 2021.
