In a heartfelt blend of personal reflection and public aspiration, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry offer a glimpse into their family dynamics. They have also shared expansive future of their philanthropic endeavors. As they navigate a different path from their royal past, the couple shares how their personal experiences as parents are deeply intertwined with their commitment to global outreach.
In recent events, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have continued to make public appearances. However, not in the capacity that many once knew them—as "working royals." Instead, they now engage with the world on their own terms. They embody the same zeal and commitment that characterized their royal duties.
This evolution in their public roles was reminiscent during their visit to Nigeria, echoing their 2019 tour across Africa. Back then, Meghan's approach was personable and sisterly. This was a demeanor she carried forward into their latest engagements. During this visit, Meghan was notably seen wearing Princess Diana's cross necklace.

The necklace was a poignant gift from Prince Harry, symbolizing continuity and cherished memory. This gesture not only highlights her connection to the past but also her ongoing commitment to shaping a positive future. She has reflected on her own experiences as a young girl seeking inspiration and aspiring to become a beacon for the youth of today.
Meghans engagement with communities, especially the youth, has been a consistent theme throughout her public life. During her visit to South Africa in 2019, Meghan has expressed a heartfelt connection with the young people she meets. In South Africa she declared she was there as a sistetr, a sentiment that resonated again in Nigeria.

In discussions with local youth, Meghan often reflects on her own formative years. She acknowledged the crucial influence of role models.

"I always reflect back on myself as a young girl and the type of inspiration that I wanted to see in other women. I hope in some small way I can be a part of that for a lot of these young girls especially," Meghan shared. Her words highlight a deep empathy and an aspiration to empower not just girls but boys as well.
This aspirational perspective is also how Meghan views her own children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Speaking on their upbringing, she notes, "It’s what we see in our own children—to give them that promise and excitement for their futures."
Her role as a mother intertwines with her public endeavors. She seeks to instill the same hope and ambition in her children that she aims to inspire in children worldwide.

Meghan and Harry's reflections on their family provide a deeper look into their evolving family dynamics. As their children grow, the couple has observed unique traits and potential in both Archie and Lilibet. These traits resonate with their own aspirations and values. Meghan shared a touching anecdote about their daughter, Lilibet, who is nearly three years old.
Reflecting on her interactions with Lilibet, Meghan recounted how her daughter once looked at her and said, "Mama, I see me in you," a statement Meghan interpreted quite literally. This illustrated to Meghan the profound connection and reflection she sees in her children.
This connection is further emphasized by their son, Archie. The young boy recently celebrated his fifth birthday and has shown a keen interest in construction. Lilibet, on the other hand, has taken an affinity towards singing and dancing.

These interests not only highlight the children’s individual personalities but also how Meghan and Harry nurture these traits. The couple encourages their children to explore and develop their unique talents and passions.
The personal reflections shared by Meghan provide a window into the thoughtful nature of her parenting. She candidly discusses the impact of her children’s development on her own perspectives. Talking about their family, Meghan gushed: "We’re just doing great. And happy to be watching our family grow up and evolve. Of course, I'm happy. We're really happy."

Looking ahead, Prince Harry and Meghan are enthusiastic about the prospects of expanding their philanthropic work. The couple acknowledges the limitations that remote interactions have on the effectiveness of their initiatives. They are keen to engage more directly with the communities they support.

"There’s only so much one can do from home and over Zoom, so we look forward to traveling more because the work matters," Prince Harry expressed.
Their plans for future travels are not just about broadening their geographical reach but also deepening the impact of their work. Whether it involves the Archewell Foundation, the Invictus Games, or other charitable activities, the Sussexes are committed to being physically present to meet with, learn from, and support the individuals at the heart of their causes.

Although Meghan and Harry have shared that they feel optimistic about their future, fans thought otherwise. We previously reported that some fans noticed that Meghan looked less than impressed when returning from Nigeria with her husband.
Meghan and Harry touched down back in their home base after an 18-hour flight from Nigeria. They returned to Los Angeles after spending three days in Abuja on a "semi-royal tour."

Harry and Meghan were spotted arriving at LAX (Los Angeles International Airport), before leaving the airport in an SUV at the venue's Private Suites facility. Media of Meghan, who wore a brown blazer, matching flats, and white trousers, walking toward the car with her phone in hand sparked public commentary online.

According to many social media users, the Duchess of Sussex looked unhappy. "Oh dear, madam looks peeved," perceived an X user. "I guess she wasn't that comfortable," asserted a Facebooker. Other spectators diverted their attention to the couple's body language and lack of interaction.

From the photos and video footage, viewers could see that, unlike on other occasions, the pair walked solo to their car with Meghan ahead of Prince Harry—who wore dark-colored pants and a jacket—and him lagging behind her. "If you watch the video, she walked waaayyyy ahead of him. No hand holding, no nothing," remarked another commenter.

"Look at her not clinging onto Harry when a camera isn't known to be around," stated someone else while another person echoed the sentiment highlighting, "back to normal M in front H looking cast off behind [...] the act is over." "They can't stand each other! What a farce," said another critic.

Although most criticized the duo, some people showered them with love and support. "Love all the way ❤️💝," wrote a fan. Another admirer who was keen on Meghan and Prince Harry's return gushed, "We missed them already. 😁"
Regarding the claims some made about Prince Harry and Meghan not being able to "stand each other" and ultimately faking their happiness, the Duchess of Sussex has made it abundantly clear that she and her beau are doing just fine.
Things may be peachy and rosy as far as the couple's relationship and home life are concerned; however, they are reportedly facing challenges with their charity foundation. According to reports, Archewell has been deemed "delinquent," and was barred from spending or raising funds.

Reportedly the pair let a delay in payment of the foundation's official registration fees happen and failed to submit Archewell's annual report.
An official letter drafted by Rob Bonta, Attorney General of California, stipulates, "An organization that is listed as delinquent is not in good standing and is prohibited from engaging in conduct for which registration is required [...] The organization may also be subject to penalties and its registration may be suspended or revoked by the Registry."

In addition to having to pay late fees, Archewell will also be required to submit records showing justification for why the payment is late.
A media outlet reporting on the news made mention of the fact that, at first, they (the outlet) were informed that the charity foundation filed for an extension. However, they were later told that along with the filing, a check had been sent to Rob's office that was not received and thus, a new one has since been issued.

Far from allowing this slight bump in the road to affect the goals and initiatives of their foundation, Prince Harry and Meghan have confirmed that Archewell will be expanding its partnership with the GEANCO Foundation in Abuja.
Aside from the standing initiative to help young Nigerian women with menstrual health products and education, Archewell will now also add mental health resources and training for young women and men.

Apart from finding controversial things to say about Prince Harry and Meghan arriving back home from Nigeria, their tour was deemed a success.
