Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have two beautiful children together, Archie Harrison and Lilibet Diana.

And the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who live in a gorgeous family home in California with their two dogs and chickens, have revealed exactly why they’re so protective of their two kids.

Since Prince Harry and Markle decided to step down from their royal duties in the UK and move to America, the public knows very little about the couple’s two children who they’ve tried to keep out of the public eye.

Why? Well, the former Suits actress, aged 42, explained recently in an interview with The Cut it was all about having control.

Talking about sharing photos of her children with the public, Markle said: “There’s literally a structure by which if you want to release photos of your child, as a member of the family, you first have to give them to the Royal Rota (the UK media pool).

“Why would I give the very people that are calling my children the N-word a photo of my child before I can share it with the people that love my child? You tell me how that makes sense and then I’ll play that game.”

Here’s everything you need to know, including the important facts, about Archie and Lilibet:

Who is Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s first child?

Name: Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor

Age: Four

Date of birth: May 6, 2019

Markle and Prince Harry’s first little one Archie, was born at the Portland Hospital in London, weighing 7lb 3oz.

Seventh in line to the throne, the Queen met her great-grandson just two days after his birth and the event was shared with the public.

Archie, who was born in the UK but now lives in Montecito in California, is said to be enjoying a normal life in the States and even attends a lovely preschool which focuses on ’emotional literacy’, mindfulness and how to look after the environment.

Who is Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s second child?

Name: Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor

Age: Two

Date of birth: June 4 2021

Little Lilibet – or Lili as the family call her – was born in America and has rarely been seen by the public since her birth.

Markle and Prince Harry paid tribute to the Queen with their daughter’s name, which was Elizabeth’s childhood nickname.

The couple celebrated her first birthday in the UK when they were visiting for the Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

Lilibet has been described as ‘chilled’ and ‘beautiful’ by her proud dad.
