Meghan Markle delighted fans by sharing a charming new video featuring herself and her 3-year-old daughter, Princess Lilibet, dressed in matching beekeeper suits. Posted on her Instagram Stories on May 25, the sweet clip shows the Duchess of Sussex holding Lilibet’s hand as they approach an apiary together, highlighting their special mother-daughter moment.
The video is perfectly paired with the nostalgic tune “Sugar, Sugar” by The Archies, which seems to be a subtle tribute to Lilibet’s older brother, Prince Archie, who is 6 years old. One of the cutest details in the clip is Lilibet’s colorful rainbow boots, adding a playful touch to the scene.
Meghan’s Passion for Beekeeping
Meghan has spoken openly about her interest in beekeeping during her Netflix series With Love, Meghan. In the show’s first episode, she confidently handles a live bee hive, sharing her feelings about the calming yet slightly daring nature of the hobby.
“I’ve got good vibes,” Meghan says as she gently works with the bees. She explains how beekeeping reminds her to face fears while staying calm, appreciating the deep connection it brings with nature.
Beyond a Hobby: Meghan’s Honey Business
Meghan’s affection for bees and honey extends beyond personal interest. She launched a Limited-Edition Wildflower Honey with Honeycomb through her lifestyle brand As Ever. The product was so popular it sold out quickly, even leading to an accidental oversell. Meghan personally apologized to customers who missed out and promised early access and surprise gifts for future releases.
Royal Beekeeping Runs in the Family
Meghan isn’t the only royal passionate about bees. Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, also keeps bees at the family’s Norfolk residence, Anmer Hall. In 2023, Kate’s office posted a photo of her caring for the hives to honor World Bee Day.
Even Queen Camilla enjoys beekeeping, harvesting honey from her country home at Ray Mill House. Her honey is available for charitable sale at Fortnum & Mason, continuing the royal tradition of supporting nature and sustainability.
