During a conversation with People Magazine, Meghan revealed a personal nightly routine she shares with her spouse, Prince Harry, where they unwind and engage in a bit of introspection.

The 43-year-old Duchess of Sussex revealed that she and Harry, 40, end each day with what they call “nightcap recaps.”

As they prepare school lunches for their children, they take a moment to enjoy a drink together and talk about their day.

“I think all parents in this phase with kids the same age know it’s rinse and repeat,” Meghan shared, referring to the nightly rhythm they’ve established.

Once the kitchen duties are wrapped up, the couple often unwinds by enjoying some TV time.

“We love ‘Shrinking.’ We just finished ‘Black Doves,’ and we’re excited for the new season of ‘The White Lotus,'” she said.

“It’s a real delight in being able to be a present parent. And it’s a luxury sometimes because we all have to work. We all have a lot of stuff to do,” she said, per the Daily Mail. “But when you can take a minute to just… finding the fun in those moments, makes for a really sweet start to the weekend.”

The duchess then completed the dish with dollops of yogurt and delicate flower sprinkles.

Since the release of Meghan’s Netflix show, it has received a barrage of criticism from several media outlets and other critics, including Princess Diana’s former biographer, Tina Brown.

In her Substack newsletter titled Fresh Hell, the ex-Vanity Fair editor claimed that the series proves that the former actress has an “unerring instinct for getting it wrong.”

According to the journalist, Meghan has also “never figured out a convincing persona,” a statement that seems to take a dig at the duchess’ rumored intention for the show to be about her authentic self.

Brown further suggested that the former actress should have chosen to focus on a project detailing “what a spectacular failure the past five years have been” if she aimed for it to be successful.
