Unexpected weekend tasks disclosed for Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet
The Little Farmhands: Meet Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, teaching pumpkins, peas, and penny wises under the sun! The young royals, aged 6 (Archie) and 4 (Lilibet), are making their mark beyond the castle walls with their unique horticultural pursuits. Their parents, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, have transformed their Montecito backyard into a thriving veggie haven and local producer of fresh produce.
On weekend mornings, the family sets up a farmer's market stand in their neighborhood. The budding entrepreneurs help sell homegrown veggies, not only giving them a sense of money's value but also teaching them about their privileged lifestyle and the importance of generosity.
Appearing on the Aspire with Emma Grede podcast, Meghan revealed, "We grow a lot of veggies. We sometimes do a little farmer's market stand. It's a key lesson for children, especially when they're privileged. They need to understand that things carry a cost, and it's essential to take care of that which is valuable."
It's more than just selling vegetables; for Archie and Lilibet, gardening is a way to learn patience, appreciation for food, and an active role in their community. They're equipped with their gardening tools, taking gardening seriously, as their mother disclosed on her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan.
Planting seeds for sugar snap peas, basil, and a variety of delectable treats, Archie and Lilibet are troopers in the garden. Meghan believes that giving kids seeds to tend and harvest encourages a connection with nature, fostering the understanding that our meals don't just appear on our plates but, rather, require time and effort.
Balancing royal life and family life hasn't been a struggle for Meghan, who cherishes every moment with her children. In her busy schedule, she finds joy in simple pleasures like making their school lunches and volunteering for school activities, embracing the chance to be an engaged and loving parent to Archie and Lilibet.
Meanwhile, Meghan's professional life shines bright, too. Following the success of her Netflix show and the launch of lifestyle brand, As Ever, which sold out within minutes, she promises to restock the brand soon with more mouthwatering treats like jam, honey, and tea.
