Prince Harry, Meghan Markle Share Rare Insight on 2 Kids Amid Royal Drama

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle offered a brief update regarding their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, while visiting a school in Nigeria.

The proud parents are currently embarking on a three-day tour of the African country as part of anniversary celebrations for the Invictus Games, and their first stop was a visit to a local school supported by their Archewell Foundation.

While visiting the school on Friday, May 10, Harry and Meghan stopped by a kindergarten class, where they were greeted by children dancing and singing songs for them, as several outlets have reported. During which, Harry asked the group of kids, "Is singing and dancing your favourite class?"

"That’s Lili's favorite class," Meghan said of their daughter, who turns 3 on June 4. "Maybe it's all the jumping around."

The Suits alum, 42, and her husband, 39, were then shown around a STEM class, where a different group of students proudly displayed the robot cars they’d created. “Who enjoys electronics?” Harry asked, leading Meghan to reveal that the couple's son Archie, 5, enjoys construction, too.

The rare insight into the couple's life at home with their kids comes at a time when the royal family is under immense scrutiny and speculation from onlookers as a "royal rift" is reportedly putting stress on senior royals' relationships with other members of the family.

The rumors about Harry's relationship with his brother, Prince William, and his father, King Charles III, have become so popular among royal watchers that the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, has gotten involved with the matter.

On Thursday, Welby offered some advice to fans who have become rather obsessed with the inner workings of the royal family's personal relationships with one another. Speaking on the suggested "rift," Welby told Good Morning Britain correspondent Jonathan Swain, "We must not judge them. They’re human beings, they must not be judged."

"They need to be prayed for and supported," he added.

Hours before Welby spoke with the talk show, fans of the family claimed King Charles III "snubbed" his youngest son by handing over one of his roles to his eldest son, Prince William.

And one day prior to those accusations, it was revealed that the 75-year-old cancer-stricken monarch would not be making time to see Harry during his brief return to the UK for the 10th anniversary of his Invictus Games–something online fans around the world saw as yet another very public dig.
