Meghan Markle Struggles with ‘Sadness’ as Her Children Grow Up, Source Reveals
The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, is reportedly feeling a sense of “sadness” as her two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, continue to grow up. This feeling of heartbreak comes after Meghan spent Mother’s Day last month without her young ones.
Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry, welcomed their first child, Archie, in 2019, and their second child, Lilibet, in 2021. Despite being a hands-on mother, Meghan recently shared her struggle of being away from her children, especially as they reach significant milestones like Lilibet turning three on June 4.
A source close to the Duchess revealed to OK! Magazine that Meghan finds it difficult to be apart from her children as she doesn’t want to miss any moment of their growth. The source mentioned, “Meghan doesn’t like being away from her children as she doesn’t want to miss a thing with them growing up so fast.”
Parenting expert Amanda Jenner explained that it is natural for parents to feel a mix of emotions as their children grow up quickly, and Meghan’s feelings of sadness are completely normal. Jenner added, “It’s perfectly normal that Meghan is feeling that sudden sadness and it’s important to find the positive. This can also be a time for parents to find themselves again as a person.”
As Meghan navigates this new chapter of her children growing up, she is finding support and understanding from those around her. The Duchess’s openness about her emotions serves as a reminder that even members of the royal family experience the bittersweet moments of parenthood.
