Meghan Markle’s Morning Mayhem: Cooking, Chaos, and Kids

In a delightful peek into the morning rituals of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle recently revealed her fast-paced family breakfasts in the second episode of her Netflix series, *With Love, Meghan*, which premiered on March 4. While many parents can relate to the morning hustle of getting kids ready for school, Meghan adds a royal twist to the routine. With her two young children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, in tow, Meghan takes pride in preparing breakfast, often racing against the clock. The Duchess quipped, “I wake up every morning and take a lot of pride in making breakfast for my family…mornings are fast. Gotta get the kids to school.”
Her culinary escapades include crafting surprise pancakes that keep her kids guessing with fun toppings like rainbow sprinkles, chocolate chips, or blueberries shaped into smiley faces. Talk about breakfast with a side of mystery! And while the mornings are indeed speedy, Meghan embraces the chaos, admitting that some days call for the convenience of frozen waffles. “And there’s no shame in that either,” she adds, resonating with many parents who are all too familiar with balancing health, creativity, and time constraints in the kitchen.
In a humorous moment during the show, Meghan shared that the aroma of bacon is what truly draws her husband, Prince Harry, and their dogs into the kitchen—proving that the smell of sizzling strips can indeed rival even the most enchanting perfume. Meghan further revealed that Harry has a penchant for seasoning, as he adds salt to every dish before even giving it a taste, showcasing his unique culinary flair.
The episode also highlighted Meghan’s camaraderie with actress Mindy Kaling, with whom she has developed a close friendship. They bonded over shared experiences of motherhood, emphasizing the importance of having fellow mom friends. Kaling, a mother of three, understands the balancing act that comes with parenting, and their playful cooking session included creating kid-friendly snacks, like adorable tomato and cheese toasts resembling ladybugs.
In an exclusive interview with *People Magazine*, Meghan elaborated on her morning routine, noting that she typically rises around 6:30 a.m., eager to start the day with her family. It’s this blend of humor, chaos, and love that characterizes the Sussexes’ day-to-day life, offering a relatable glimpse into their world away from the royal spotlight.
