Meghan Markle has shared a rare photo of her youngest child

The parents don't want their son Archie and daughter Lilibet to grow up with the world watching their every move.

Since stepping down as senior working royals, the parents have ensured their children's privacy is protected.

However, Meghan Markle has started sharing glimpses of their children online after she returned to Instagram.

The mum relaunched her Instagram account in January and has given fans a look into her life with Harry and their children in California.

In a new post, the mum shared a sweet photo of Harry cuddling their daughter Lilibet.

In a post for International Women’s Day, the mum praised the women in her life.

She wrote:

"Celebrating the strong women around us & the girls with dreams who will become women with vision. Also thanking those who uplift us every day."

In the adorable photo, Prince Harry is cuddling his daughter during a boat trip. The dad is kissing his little girl on the head in the snap.

Meghan Markle recently opened up about why it is so important for her to have the same name as her children.

In an episode of her new Netflix show With Love, Meghan, the mum explained that she wanted to keep her royal name for the sake of her son and daughter.

Meghan jokingly claps back at Mindy Kaling when she keeps referring to her as ‘Meghan Markle.’

She says to her friend: “It’s so funny too that you keep saying Meghan Markle. You know I’m Sussex now.”

Meghan explained that she wants to share the same surname as her children, Archie and Lilibet.

“You have kids, and you go, “No, I should share my name with my children.

“I didn’t know how meaningful it would be to me, but it just means so much. This is our family name, our little family name.”
