Meghan Markle has delved into her hopes for the future of her children with Prince Harry, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
The Duchess of Sussex was reflecting about family life while speaking on The Circuit podcast with host Emily Chang.
While sharing a drink outside with Meghan, the host asked: “I there anything you want for your kids that’s different from what you and Harry have had? Especially when it comes to family.”

Meghan compared her hopes to the same support that she and Harry “have had and that we do have in many ways.”
Her positive comments came as the Sussexes have remained at odds with the Royal Family since stepping down from the firm in 2020.
Additionally, Meghan has been estranged from her father, Thomas Markle, for since her wedding to Prince Harry – with the 81-year-old never having met either of his grandchildren.
Looking ahead, the Duchess shared her hope that Archie and Lilibet would be able to decide their own path.

|“I want to them to be able to carve out the life they want for themselves,” she said.
“That will very much be, not necessarily mimicking, but that’ll be very much reflective of the choices my husband and I have made,” Meghan added.
What choices Meghan was referring precisely is unclear as the conversation quickly moved on to other matters.
Elsewhere in the podcast, the Duchess appeared to share another reflection on the difficulties of royal life.

Meghan divulged to Ms Change that certain royal expectations meant she was not always able to “be myself”.
"I think probably it was different several years ago where I couldn’t be as vocal and I had to wear nude pantyhose all the time,” she explained.
“Let’s be honest, that was very not myself,” the Duchess said, adding that the dress code felt “a little bit inauthentic”.
While Meghan admitted the example may have been “silly,” she said it demonstrated a time before she was “able to dress how you want to dress and you’re able to say the things that are true”.
