Prince Harry gave a glimpse into his life as a dad and what it is like raising their two little ones with his wife, Meghan.
Former "Suits" actress Meghan Markle and her husband Prince Harry are celebrating a new milestone in their daughter's life. Baby Lilibet is now walking!
Speaking on the most recent episode of her Archetypes podcast, Meghan revealed that her daughter, who celebrated her first birthday on June 4, has just started walking.
The announcement comes barely a month after Harry confessed that the toddlers were keeping him and his wife busy. While the parents of two acknowledge that their parenting schedules will only get more chaotic with their children growing up fast, they are ecstatic that they have upgraded from crawling.
Meghan disclosed that her mornings were usually hectic. The monitors for both her children are usually on, so she can always hear them. Then, she'll get Lilibet downstairs and start on Archie's lunchbox before he wakes up 30 minutes later. Her husband then helps get the 3-year-old Archie downstairs.

"The Candidate" actress then makes breakfast for her family, a role she relishes very much. She shared that it is an essential duty for her, adding:
"I love doing it. It just feels like the greatest way to start the morning."
Prince Harry Shares How “Busy” Archie and Lilibet Usually Are
Raising two toddlers has been quite the experience for the Sussexes, but they love every moment. The two are often happy to share their babies' milestones and let fans know what their babies have been up to.
Speaking to the winners of the WellChild Awards, 4-year-old Henry Waines, and his parents, in October, Harry likened little Waines' squeaky voice to that of Archie, saying:
"You sound just like my son Archie, with that little squeaky voice. I love it."
And when Waines asked for updates on how Archie and Lilibet were doing, Harry spotted a smile before saying that Archie was keeping himself very busy while Lilibet was learning to use her voice.
How Do Meghan & Harry Raise Their Children?
Archie and Lilibet may have been born of royalty, but despite their privileged lifestyle, their parents strive to give them a regular upbringing.
Like most parents, Harry and Meghan want their children to be friendly with other kids and often arrange playdates with other celebrity children. For instance, Archie and Lilibet had been on a playdate with late-night talk show host James Corden's kids.
Meghan, who comes from an ordinary background, knows all too well the perks of having a normal upbringing, and she strives to provide the same for her children.
She is also acutely aware of how much Princess Diana wanted a normal lifestyle for her children, Harry and William. She hopes she can give her babies such a life, away from the negative spotlight that she had to deal with for a long time.
