Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, marked Mother’s Day 2025 by sharing a touching moment with her two children, Archie and Lilibet, through a rare public post on social media. The photo, which featured the children warmly embracing their mother, was accompanied by a heartfelt caption that celebrated motherhood and the joy of parenting.

This post came shortly before the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were referenced during a light-hearted moment on an episode of Saturday Night Live (SNL), highlighting the couple’s ongoing presence in public life and media commentary.

A Personal Tribute to Motherhood

On May 12, 2025, Meghan shared a photo on her official Instagram profile, offering a glimpse into family life at home with her children. The caption read:

“Happy Mother’s Day! Cheers to juggling it all with joy!”

She continued by referencing her children’s nickname for her — “mama mountain” — and added a heartfelt message:

“To these two gems – who still attempt to climb ‘mama mountain,’ smother me with kisses, and make every day the most memorable adventure.”

She concluded her post with a playful and affectionate message:

“I, too, ‘love you more than all the stars in all the sky, all the raindrops, and all the salt on all the French fries in all the world.’”

The post was met with thousands of positive reactions and comments from followers, who praised her warm tribute to motherhood.

Acknowledging Motherhood in Public Life

Meghan Markle has previously described motherhood as the “greatest privilege” of her life, echoing similar sentiments in past interviews and public appearances. She has frequently spoken about the balance of raising children while managing a public role, particularly since stepping back from formal royal duties in 2020 alongside Prince Harry.

SNL Sketch References the Sussexes

On the same weekend as the Mother’s Day post, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were the subject of a satirical joke on Saturday Night Live (NBC). During the “Weekend Update” segment, co-host Colin Jost made a humorous remark in connection with a fictional trade deal between the United States and the United Kingdom.

“President Trump also announced a new trade deal with the UK that will reopen British markets for American companies. All that Britain demands in return is that we keep these two,” Jost said, as a photo of Prince Harry and Meghan appeared on screen.

While the segment was clearly meant in jest, as part of SNL’s long-running satire format, it underscored the couple’s continued cultural relevance and visibility in both U.S. and U.K. media.

Date Night and Public Appearances

In addition to the Mother’s Day post, Meghan Markle also recently shared highlights from a public appearance with Prince Harry at Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” concert at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. The Duchess posted several photos of the evening on Instagram, thanking Beyoncé and her team for what she described as a “very fun date night.”

One detail that captured fans’ attention was Prince Harry’s cowboy hat, which featured personal details such as symbols of the American flag, British flag, Africa, and California, along with the names “Archie,” “Lili,” and “My Love” printed on the underside of the brim.

“About last night… Thank you @beyonce and team for an amazing concert (and a very fun date night)! All love,” Meghan captioned her post.

The post received widespread engagement from followers, with many praising the couple’s casual, affectionate presence.

Podcast Appearance and Personal Reflections

In a recent episode of The Jamie Kern Lima Show, Meghan opened up about her marriage and family life, offering insights into the couple’s strong bond and shared vision. She spoke candidly about the role of mutual support in a marriage:

“There’s something that is not to be taken for granted when you have a partner and a spouse who is just so behind you.”

She also expressed appreciation for Harry’s devotion:

“I mean, H, that man loves me so much. And you know, look what we built. We’ve built a beautiful life, and we have two healthy, beautiful children.”

Prince Harry’s Comments on Security and Travel

Earlier this year, Prince Harry publicly addressed concerns regarding his family’s ability to visit the United Kingdom, following a legal decision that denied him automatic police protection during visits. In an interview, the Duke expressed his hesitation about bringing Meghan and their children to the UK under the current security circumstances.

“I can’t see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the U.K. at this point,” he said, describing the situation as “really quite sad.”

He reflected on the emotional impact of the issue, particularly in relation to his children missing out on experiencing his homeland:

“I love my country. I always have done. Despite what some people in that country have done.”
