Meghan Markle walks with her daughter Princess Lilibet.
The Duchess of Sussex has revealed a charming shared passion with her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton: beekeeping.
In a heartwarming Instagram video, Meghan Markle showcased her beekeeping skills alongside her youngest child, Princess Lilibet. Dressed in full protective gear, the mother-daughter duo approached a buzzing hive in the peaceful surroundings of their California home. The video, shared just days ahead of Lilibet’s fourth birthday on June 4, captured the sweet interaction between them.
“Look at all of that fresh honeycomb! Harvesting honey with my little honey. (Like mother, like daughter — she’s even wearing my gloves),” Meghan captioned the clip. The post was set to the catchy tune of “Sugar, Sugar” by The Archies, perhaps a subtle nod to her son, Prince Archie.
As the footage unfolds, Meghan is seen gently lifting a honeycomb teeming with bees, while Lilibet watches from a safe distance, visibly curious. The video then transitions to the kitchen, where Meghan slices the honeycomb and pours golden nectar into a glass jar.
First shared as an Instagram Story on May 25, Meghan later reposted the video to her main feed on May 27, delighting followers with the rare glimpse into her family’s quiet moments.
Meghan’s Netflix series, With Love, which premiered in March, has further revealed her growing connection to nature. In one episode, she reflects, “It’s a little reminder to do something that scares you a little bit. I’m trying to stay in the calm of it. Because it’s beautiful to be this connected.”
Interestingly, Meghan’s newfound hobby aligns with those of other royal family members. Kate Middleton has posted about her own beekeeping experiences on World Bee Day, and Queen Camilla has long been a supporter of the craft, keeping hives at her residence in Lacock, Wiltshire. Camilla also serves as president of Bees for Development, a nonprofit that promotes sustainable beekeeping around the globe.
With honey in hand and a shared royal tradition in bloom, Meghan’s sweet moment with Lilibet has not only charmed fans — it’s highlighted a delightful thread of continuity among the modern royal women.
