No matter where the day takes you, the Duchess of Sussex said in season 2 of her Netflix show, "Just take a minute of calm before the day."
Meghan Markle loves making food for Prince Harry, their kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, in the morning.
The chat started while the Duchess of Sussex and Tan France, star of Queer Eye, were making French toast for the new season of her show With Love, Meghan, which debuted on Netflix on August 26.
"Every morning, I make my kids and my husband a hot breakfast." But it's not hard to understand as some people think. Meghan, 44, said, "This is so simple to make." "You're just cutting up bread, dipping it in eggs, and calling it a day. It feels like a big job."
"There you are on the griddle. France replied, "They're not just eating cereal."
Meghan said, "Yes, fried eggs and pancakes." She then talked about some of the special things that her kids, Archie, 6, and Lili, 4, are looking forward to. "But I like to surprise the kids with pancakes, so I always add some chia seeds and ground flax seeds." Lili will ask, "May I have some chia seeds?" "I want it to have spots on it."
They can be thoughtful about the times they spend together because of their daily routine, she said.
"Breakfast is a sacred time for the whole family." You set the speed. You can ask them what they're looking forward to today. "Just take a moment to calm down before the day, no matter where it takes you," the Duchess of Sussex said.
Even so, the As Ever author likes to add her own style.
"One thing I like to do with my kids is the presentation, which takes a little more time." "Oh, mama, that looks beautiful," Archie will say, Meghan said.
She used Instagram Stories to show off a special green waffle she made for the kids' breakfast for St. Patrick's Day in March. For Valentine's Day, she made strawberries and red swirled bagels topped with pink spread that were also in the spirit.
Earlier this year, she told PEOPLE, "I get my kids dressed for the day before they do, so I'm usually up at 6:30. Then we go downstairs." "I love making my family breakfast."
She doesn't have to always eat the same fancy meals that she posts about on social media for special events, though.
She says, "My husband and Archie both love fried eggs." "This area has a lot of bacon. There are times when you don't have time for any of that, so you just toast a frozen waffle and call it a day. Also, there's no shame in that.
