Here’s how Prince Harry and Meghan parent their children

Everyone knows being a parent as a member of the Royal Family is not different than being a parent in a regular non-royal family, especially after what went down with Prince Louis at the Platinum Jubilee celebration. But isn’t that what any kid would do?

However, parenting a royal kid requires a bit more effort in the sense that everyone has their eyes on the kid. Just like the Cambridges, the Sussexes are doting parents to two children – Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor and Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor. According to Hello magazine, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have parenting rules for Archie and Lilibet and here are three of the most significant ones:

Shower love on them

Evidently, Archie and Lilibet are showered with love by both their parents. Even David Beckham confirmed that in an interview earlier this year. Talking about Prince Harry’s parenting, he said:

I think he's enjoying being a young father for the first time and that's what we always spoke about.

When you're a parent, it changes you. He (Harry) always needs to be happy. We love him and he's an amazing person - and that's the most important thing - but I'm proud to see him growing up as an individual and being that person that every father wants to be. Every father wants to be loving to their children and that's what I see with him.

Manners make a man

In the recent bombshell interview with The Cut, Meghan Markle revealed a lot of things. One of them was the importance of having impeccable manners at home. She confirmed that the couple is currently trying to teach Archie all about manners. Meghan said:

We always tell him: Manners make the man. Manners, manners, manners, manners, manners.

Family time is a priority

The Duke and Duchess may have their differences with their families, but they don't want Archie and Lilibet to have them. Family bonding and spending time with family is an essential ethic of the Sussex household and they nurture the kids in the same way. This doesn’t only mean immediate family, but also extended family. Princess Diana's sister Lady Jane Fellowes being one of the first family members to meet Archie is just one example. The Sussexes also want Archie and Lilibet to have a great bond with Prince William and Kate Middleton’s children.
