Out of sight, but not out of mind.
Although Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, are not featured in “With Love, Meghan,” they are frequently referenced throughout their mom’s new Netflix lifestyle series.
The Duchess of Sussex gave lots of insight into life with her kids in the second episode in particular as she coached Mindy Kaling on throwing birthday parties.
“Mornings are fast,” Markle, 43, said as she whipped up a frittata for the “Office” alum. “Got to get the kids to school, so I think that’s why I’m comfortable with this pace.”
She noted the “pride” she feels in making breakfast for her loved ones every morning, saying her thoughts on cooking have “changed” since becoming a mom.
“It’s so much a part of what I want them to learn,” said Markle, who finds sharing the last name Sussex with Archie and Lilibet “meaningful.”
“[I want them] to have these great formative memories of being with me, like ‘Oh, Mama used to make this!’” she continued.
Elsewhere in the episode, Markle gushed about being a “present” parent, which she called a privilege as a working mom.
Other mentions later in the series included Markle joking about having arnica in her home because “toddler life” equals “lots of bumps and bruises.”
The “Suits” alum also quipped, while cooking, “When you’ve had kids, you’re used to balancing things on your hip.”
She spoke specifically about Lilibet, 3, on multiple occasions, from the toddler’s cleaning song — “Clean as you go! Clean, clean, clean!” — to her baguette and cheese doll named Stella Al Fresco.
Markle also mimicked the way her youngest child “starts to sway a little bit” when she eats something she enjoys.
As for Archie, Markle said the 5-year-old caught trout on a recent “family vacation” and “loved” fishing.
The former actress also spoke about Harry, 40, in addition to the former military pilot’s brief appearance in the final episode.
While making the aforementioned frittata, Markle joked, “When I’m cooking bacon, my kitchen very immediately becomes full of [my] husband and three dogs … My bacon brings all the boys to the yard.”
She also explained to Kaling that she “tries to undersalt” everything she makes because Harry, “no matter what meal is put in front of him, before he tastes it, always puts salt on.”
Markle also poked fun at Harry calling ladybugs “ladybirds,” as well as praising his “great” cooking skills.
“Really good breakfast” is her partner’s speciality, she claimed, while referring to him by his “H” nickname.
The first season of “With Love, Meghan” is now streaming on Netflix.
