Meghan Markle teases daughter Lilibet's American accent in new video

Meghan Markle has shared an adorable snippet of daughter Lilibet’s American accent in a sweet new video.

The five-year-old might be part of the British monarchy with a fancy title to her name, but when it comes to her accent she’s clearly a Californian girl.

Meghan, 45, and dad Prince Harry, 42, typically keep Lilibet and seven-year-old Archie out of the public eye but in a rare clip the youngster can be heard chatting to her mum while she stirs some jam.

The cute clip was shared as the Duchess of Sussex launches the first of the festive offerings from her brand As Ever.

In the video, Meghan shared some throwback shots of her in her younger years as well as more recent footage from her creating her collection.

At one point in the short clip, Meghan is seen standing at the stovetop stirring up some of her signature jam, with Lilibet standing off to one side stirring her own bowl.

Mum Meghan asks: “What do you think Lili?”

To which the little girl replies: “I think it’s beautiful.”

Of course, given that Lilibet was born in Santa Barbara, California, and has spent most of her life living in Monte­cito, it makes sense that she’d have an American accent.

In August, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex shocked fans by announcing they would be returning to the UK to live.

The couple are back as non-working royals with a letter sent on behalf of the King saying they will remain ‘private citizens’.

They are reportedly living on a non-royal, 83 acre plot in the Cotswolds, having to spend '£3 million a year on security'.

And it seems as though they have settled right back into life in Blighty, with Meghan, who was rumoured to be making a return to acting following the move, sharing a video of their first couple of weeks in the UK.

However, things haven’t run entirely smoothly for the family with the two youngsters reportedly having to move schools just days into the new term due following talks with their security team.

According to Hello! magazine, the children’s new school included a long journey each way, which put a strain on the Sussex’s security team.

A spokesperson for the family said at the time: “The decision for the children to move school was taken following a discussion with the family’s security team about the practicalities of their current arrangements.

“The parents remain extremely grateful to all the teachers and staff for the love, care and effort they have shown their family.

“This decision should in no way be interpreted as a reflection on the school or the exceptional care the children have received there.”

Although the family have moved back to the UK, they have decided to hold onto their home in California and also have a holiday home in Portugal.

Speaking at the inaugural Invictus Spirit Awards at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich last month, Harry said it was ‘good to be back’ in the UK.
