Meghan Markle in Tears on Live TV—The Real Reason Will Shock You

Meghan Markle broke down in tears as she read out a letter from her children while sitting down for her first ever podcast interview.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, also appeared to make a dig at the Royal Family by describing how she and Harry, 40, were ‘in the trenches’ when they first started dating.

Speaking to her friend, IT Cosmetics CEO Jamie Kern Lima, Meghan opened up about her family life in Montecito with Harry and their children, Archie, five, and Lilibet, three.

Meghan revealed she was sending the youngsters an email every day to create a ‘time capsule’ they could revisit when they are older.

The mother-of-two became emotional as she read out a letter from them which read: ‘From Archie and Lili via Papa. We love your cooking. We love your pancakes and we love, love, love your hugs. You’re the best mummy and we love you.’

Referring to the note, Meghan said: ‘So sweet. I also love that it’s mummy, instead of mommy, which is very British.’ Blinking back tears, she added: ‘I wasn’t expecting this, they’re just so great. This is why it’s so nice to have no make up on, thank you.’

During the podcast, released yesterday, the Duchess also spoke of her relationship with Harry, saying she was more in love than she’s ever been before making a seemingly pointed remark that some have interpreted as a swipe at the royals.

‘You have to imagine, at the beginning it’s all butterflies – but then we immediately went into the trenches together,’ she said.

‘Right out of the gate, like six months into dating. So now seven years later, when you have a little bit of breathing space, you can just enjoy each other in a new way. And that’s why I feel like it’s more of a honeymoon period for us now.’

In both her and Harry’s Netflix series and in interviews since stepping down as a working royal, Meghan has made a series of disparaging remarks about the Royal Family and how they treated her during her time living in the UK after meeting Harry.

As well as describing racism and ‘unconscious bias’, the former Suits actress claimed that as an American she was surprised by the ‘formality’ of her new life.

She described meeting the Queen for the first time as a ‘shock to the system’ and said she ‘thought it was a joke’ when Harry told her that she would need to curtsy.

Elsewhere in today’s podcast, Meghan spoke of how she hoped her children would grow up to appreciate that ‘no one has ever loved someone more than the way our mom loved us’.

While sharing how she’s putting together a set of ‘tools’ to help on her journey as a mother, Meghan said she was inspired by one of her ‘mom friends’ who set up ‘secret emails’ for her children to send them pictures and letters when they’re older.

‘I thought it was such a great time capsule to create for them,’ she continued, ‘and so I created for the kids these email addresses…that I will give them at some point.

‘Before I go to bed, every night, I email them,’ she added, explaining the emails contain pictures ‘you’re not going to frame’, such as report cards.
