Meghan Markle Reveals She Went Three Weeks Without Seeing Her Children

The Duchess of Sussex is opening up about a challenging time during her journey through motherhood.

Meghan, who shares two children — Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet — with Prince Harry, got candid during Season 2 of her Netflix series, “With Love, Meghan,” which premiered on Tuesday.

During the season’s third episode, Meghan shared an emotional memory with “Queer Eye” star Tan France — a father himself who has two boys with his partner. While in conversation, Megahn said parenting has been “better” than she ever presumed, according to a story published by People on Tuesday.

The two discussed various aspects of parenting, including how they will “miss” their little ones when they eventually grow up and move out. People noted that France took it a bit further, saying, “I might die without my kids. I need my boys. If I don’t see them for a couple of days, I feel like my heart is broken.”

It was then that Meghan revealed she was away from her children for an extended period following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

“The longest I went without being around our kids was almost three weeks,” she recalled. “I was… not well.”

In his 2023 memoir “Spare,” Harry detailed the time the couple had to be apart from their children.

“Our quick trip would now be an odyssey. Another ten days, at least. Difficult days at that,” he said, in an excerpt cited by the outlet. “More, we’d have to be away from the children for longer than we’d planned, longer than we’d ever been.”

In April, the Duchess of Sussex opened up about experiencing postpartum preeclampsia after the birth of one of her children. During an episode of her podcast “Confessions of a Female Founder With Meghan,” she discussed the experience with Bumble CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd — who also experienced the condition.

“It’s so rare,” Meghan said. “And so scary! And you’re still trying to juggle all of these things, and the world doesn’t know what’s happening quietly. And in the quiet, you’re still trying to show up for people.”
