"But I get up at 6.30, and [this] gives me a minute to - I wish I could say I woke up and meditated - I don’t do that.

"I have the monitors on so I could hear both the kids, they get up at 7, so I give myself a little bit of time to either put on workout clothes, brush my teeth, get both of them up, I get them dressed, get them downstairs, make breakfast and then if I haven't done their lunch boxes the night before then I do that.

"I love doing lunch boxes, it makes me very happy, and writing a little note in their lunch boxes."

The Duchess later added: "If I don’t have meetings in the morning, then I try to do the school drop off - they’re at two different schools - that’s a big circuit.

"So from 6.30 in the morning, on drop off mornings for me, I’m not home til 9, and then after that i’ll just jump into meetings.

"Then on other days i’ll wake up, get them all set, and then our amazing nanny who’s been with us for five years, she’ll take them to school for us.

"That's the morning! That gets you to 9am."

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved to the US in 2020 after spending 18 months as a married couple in the UK.
