“When your children get to a certain age — when you’re not just playing in the sandbox with them but almost playing in your own sandbox again — it’s super joyful,” the Duchess of Sussex says. “As a woman, a mom and a wife, to be able to find yourself again — in a way that was always present but that you maybe couldn’t put as much attention on as you now can when your kids are a little bit older — is a wonderful feeling.”
Meghan andPrince Harryare parents to young sonPrince Archie, 5 and daughterPrincess Lilibet, 3, and she says that her husband has been happy to see her back in her element through producing the Netflix series and launching her lifestyle brand,As ever.
“My husband met me when I hadThe Tig, and I see this spark in his eye when he sees me doing the thing that I was doing when he first met me,” she says, referring to the original lifestyle blog she ran from 2014 to 2017.
“It’s almost likea honeymoon period again,” she adds, “because it’s exactly how it was in the beginning when he’d watch me scribbling away, writing newsletters, fine-tuning edits and just really being in the details of it. I think he loves watching as much as I love doing that creative process. It’s just been fun. This is who I’ve always been.”
