Just a week ago, Meghan shared a short video of herself and Lilibet tending to the family bees together. The pair donned matching white beekeeper suits, which the child paired with rainbow boots, and they walked to a hive together.
Captioning the video – which played the 1969 song 'Sugar, Sugar' by The Archies in the background – Meghan wrote: 'Look at all of that fresh honeycomb! 'Harvesting honey with my little honey. (Like mother, like daughter; she's even wearing my gloves)."
Meghan recently spoke of her desire to raise a 'very strong" daughter and a confident son.
She said at the Time100 Summit in New York: 'I'm conscious of not just raising very strong and confident young woman, but also having a son. I think it's just as paramount of importance for young men to be raised with a confidence and sense of self that is going to empower the women around them too."
'It starts with whatever is going on internally. When I am able to not even just tune out whatever that noise is, [but] to really not give it any credence, that has become so much a part of my day-to-day life," she added.
The 43-year-old duchess also revealed how she deals with criticism of herself and her family, explaining she has 'made a very, very conscious effort to create boundaries for myself and for my mental health, for my well-being and certainly to role model that as well for my children".
