Meghan and Lilibet pay a visit to an apiarist
Duchess Meghan and her daughter, Princess Lilibet, venture into beekeeping in a family activity
The royal family's 43-year-old member, Meghan Markle, shared a delightful video on Instagram featuring herself and her three-year-old daughter dressing up in matching protective beekeeping attire. The clip captures the duo engaging in beekeeping activities together, as they approach a beehive and smoker to the upbeat tune of 'Sugar, Sugar' by The Archies, representing a sweet nod to Lilibet's older brother, Prince Archie.
Meghan's interest in beekeeping is not new, having been previously highlighted in her Netflix series With Love, Meghan, where she was seen handling a hive, discussing the therapeutic benefits of the hobby, and emphasizing the importance of facing fears and maintaining calm. This hobby aligns with a broader family interest, as her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, is also known to enjoy beekeeping and celebrated World Bee Day.
In her recent podcast, "Confessions of a Female Founder," Meghan revealed her different expectations of motherhood before the births of her children. She confessed that her initial vision, holding a speech with a baby on her hip, did not materialize, instead choosing to enjoy experiences like the beekeeping outing with Lilibet. The video offers a heartwarming display of the special bond between Meghan and her daughter, showcasing reassurance and affection that characterizes their relationship.
Seven years since marrying Prince Harry in 2018, Meghan and her family have relocated to Montecito, California. The family celebrated the birth of their second child, Lilibet, in 2021, completing their transition away from the UK. This latest beekeeping outing with Lilibet provides a captivating glimpse into their family life, illustrating Meghan's dedication to crafting enriching, educational, and fun experiences for her children.
I'm not going to be able to maintain a high-fashion, glamorous lifestyle as I spend more time focusing on home-and-garden activities like beekeeping with my daughter Princess Lilibet, as evidenced by our matching protective attire in the recent Instagram video. Despite initial expectations of giving speeches with a baby on my hip, motherhood has led me to prioritize unique, enriching experiences, such as beekeeping outings, over traditional public appearances.
