Just hours after being roasted in a Saturday Night Live skit, Meghan Markle turned the spotlight back to what truly matters — her family. The Duchess of Sussex posted a heartfelt Mother’s Day photo with her children, Archie (6) and Lilibet (3), radiating love, resilience, and maternal pride.
“Mama Mountain” and a Moment of Joy
Meghan’s Instagram caption was both poetic and intimate:
“Happy Mother’s Day! Cheers to juggling it all with joy!”
“To these two gems – who still attempt to climb ‘mama mountain,’ smother me with kisses, and make every day the most memorable adventure.”
She called motherhood the “greatest privilege of [her] life”, ending her post with a sweet promise to her children:
“I love you more than all the stars in all the sky, all the raindrops, and all the salt on all the french fries in all the world.”

SNL Skit Pokes Fun at the Royals
Just before the tender post, Meghan and Prince Harry were the butt of a sharp SNL joke. During the Weekend Update segment, Colin Jost cracked:
“All that Britain demands in return is that we keep these two,”
— as a photo of Meghan and Harry flashed onscreen, prompting laughter from the audience.
While the jab was lighthearted, it reminded fans that the Sussexes remain lightning rods for public commentary.
Meghan and Harry’s Public Reconnection
The couple has been more visible recently:
-
They attended Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter concert at SoFi Stadium.
-
Meghan shared a date-night photo, highlighting Harry’s personalized Kemo Sabe cowboy hat, which featured a touching tribute:
“Archie,” “Lili,” and “My Love” were inscribed under the brim.
Meghan wrote:
“Thank you @beyonce and team for an amazing concert (and a very fun date night)! All love.”
Speaking Out About Love and Mental Health
On The Jamie Kern Lima Show, Meghan expressed gratitude for Harry’s support:
“That man loves me so much… we’ve built a beautiful life, and we have two healthy, beautiful children.”
Meanwhile, Harry recently lost a legal claim against the UK government regarding automatic police protection — a ruling he says makes returning to Britain with his family unlikely.
“I can’t see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the U.K. at this point,” Harry told the BBC.
“I love my country… Despite what some people in that country have done.”
