Meghan Markle has made a heartfelt confession about the toll of being away from her children, Archie and Lilibet, in the new season of her Netflix series With Love, Meghan.

The eight-episode lifestyle and cooking program, which gives viewers a closer look into the Duchess’s life in Los Angeles with Prince Harry and their two young children, reveals some of the most candid remarks she has made since leaving royal duties.

During one episode, Markle reflected on the longest time she had been separated from Archie, six, and Lilibet, four. Speaking with Queer Eye star Tan France, who admitted how hard he finds it to be away from his children, Meghan replied: “Oh, I know. The longest I went without being around our kids was almost three weeks. I was not well.”

The Duchess and her family moved to the United States in 2020, after stepping down as senior working royals. Since then, Prince Harry has made multiple trips back to the U.K., largely tied to his ongoing lawsuits. Meghan, however, has not returned since September 2022, when she and Harry traveled for a charity event. That trip coincided with the death of Queen Elizabeth II, leading the couple to remain in Britain for a period of mourning.
