Meghan Markle just gave us a sticky-sweet glimpse into royal mommy-and-me life—and it involves bees, gloves, and suspiciously aesthetic honey.
Yes, the 43-year-old Duchess of Sassex—I mean Sussex—took to Instagram on May 27 to casually serve beekeeper realness with her 4-year-old daughter Princess Lilibet, a.k.a. the tiniest royal with the biggest vibes.
In the video (set to “Sugar, Sugar” by The Archies because subtlety is for peasants), Meghan and Lili strut toward a beehive dressed like couture astronauts. Think less “Winnie the Pooh” and more “Vogue: Apiculture Edition.”
“Look at all of that fresh honeycomb! Harvesting honey with my little honey. (Like mother, like daughter; she’s even wearing my gloves),”
— Meghan, casually queen-ing while holding literal bee-covered liquid gold.
Yes, Meghan called Lili her “little honey.” Yes, her gloves are now probably sticky forever. And yes, fans are buzzing (pun 1000% intended) because “Sugar, Sugar” might be a nod to Prince Archie. Or maybe she just really likes sugar. Either way, we respect it.
In the clip, Meghan grabs a honeycomb like she’s starring in The Real Housewives of Nature Preserve, while Lili respectfully observes from a distance—because even at 4 years old, she knows better than to mess with bees who didn’t get a royal invite.
Then, in a moment of sheer domestic elegance, Meghan slices the honeycomb and jars it like Martha Stewart meets Bridgerton. We’re honestly shocked the jar didn’t have a minimalist Sussex monogram and a waitlist.
Of course, this isn’t her first bee rodeo. Meghan flexed her beekeeping credentials in her Netflix series With Love, Meghan—because if you’re not filming your personal growth while bees crawl on you, are you even healing?
“It’s like also that little reminder to do something that scares you a little bit,” Meghan said, zen as a crystal in a Goop store.
“I’m trying to stay in the calm of it. Because it’s beautiful to be this connected.”
Translation: Bees are scary, but growth is glam.
Meghan + Lilibet + bees = the ultimate combo of luxury, nature, and honey-sweet content. Literally.
Catch us outside harvesting honey in matching Dior beekeeper suits. Or, more likely, just watching Meghan do it while we eat toast.
