Meghan Markle has spoken of her 'authentic' family life in her first public appearance since her bombshell Oprah interview.
Her radio chat broadcast on Sunday is the first time Meghan has publicly spoken after she and Prince Harry accused the Royals of racism- and revealed a touching glimpse into their family life.
Meg told the NPRWeekend radio show: "I often find, and especially in this past year, I think so many of us realised how much happens in the quiet.
"It was definitely moments like that, watching them from out of the window and watching [my husband] just, you know, rock him to sleep or carry him or, you know … those lived experiences, from my observation, are the things that I infused in this poem."
Meanwhile, after seven months without publishing new Spotify content -with one 35 minute episode made as part of their £18m deal-the pair will take five months off following the birth of their new baby daughter Lilibet.
Royal author Phil Dampier said: “We’re being told they’re having up to five months off and people who are paying them a lot of money will expect something in return."

MEGHAN MARKLE’S PAL OMID SCOBIE CLAIMS ‘SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS’ WERE HAD WITH ROYALS OVER ARCHIE’S SKIN COLOUR
Meghan Markle’s pal has claimed “several” conversations were had with the Royal Family over the colour of their son Archie’s skin.
Omid Scobie alleged there were a number of comments made before the youngster was born – and members of the family were “unsympathetic” to the couple’s complaints.
Scobie – the preferred reporter of the Sussexes, who co-wrote their biography Finding Freedom – made the bombshell claims at an event in London today.
Meghan’s claim that a senior royal made a racist comment about Archie before his birth was the most damaging revelation in their interview with Oprah, which aired in March.
She said the unnamed royal asked about the colour of the baby’s skin and “what that would mean or look like”.

THE REAL REASON MEGHAN MARKLE MADE EXPLOSIVE STATEMENT ABOUT ARCHIE NOT BEING A PRINCE IN OPRAH INTERVIEW
According to the Mail On Sunday, Charles told Harry and Meghan that he will change key legal documents to make sure that Archie will not get the title he would have once been given by right.
Now insiders believe that this is the reason for the criticisms and accusations the Sussexes unleashed during their Oprah interview.
At one point Meghan even spelled it out for the audience saying “They [the Royal Family] were saying they didn’t want him to be a Prince or a Princess.”
“You know, the other piece of that convention is, there’s a convention – I forget if it was George V or George VI convention – that when you’re the grandchild of the monarch, so when Harry’s dad becomes King, automatically Archie and our next baby would become Prince or Princess, or whatever they were going to be.
“But also it’s not their right to take it away.”

CONTINUED: KATE HAILS REMARKABLE CHILDREN’S HOSPICES
The duchess said: "The last year has been a difficult one for everyone, and especially tough and frightening for families with seriously ill children.
"Many started shielding long before others, worrying about the pandemic and what it might mean for their child.
"The theme for this year's Children's Hospice Week is 'Pushed to the Limits', recognising the tremendous strain these families face, and why the care and support of their local children's hospices is needed now more than ever. Children's hospices are a lifeline, and I have been privileged to see first-hand the remarkable work they do.
"They give families the care and time they need to make treasured lifelong memories – the chance to be parents, not carers. Vitally, they are also there when it is time to say goodbye, making sure a family has privacy and dignity so they can grieve together, and are able to receive support for as long as they need it.
"I hope you will join me this Children's Hospice Week in thanking the UK's 54 children's hospices and their incredible staff for the life-changing care they provide to children and families facing the unimaginable – helping them to make the most of every precious moment together."

PRINCE WILLIAM CAN ‘NO LONGER HIDE’ ANGER AT MEGHAN MARKLE FOR DISRESPECTFUL COMMENTS ABOUT THE QUEEN
Prince William can “no longer hide” his outrage at Meghan Markle for her comments about The Queen during an interview with US talk show host Oprah Winfrey.
This comes as the Royal Family continues to handle backlash of the Sussexes’ Oprah interview, which included Meghan’s claim that an unnamed royal made comments on Archie’s skin colour before he was born.
Meghan cleared up the speculation that she made Kate cry, telling her side of the story, whilst suggesting it was the other way around.
A senior royal insider said: “Much has been made of the troubles between Kate and Meghan, and William and Harry—but perhaps the biggest strains now exist between William and Meghan.
“First and foremost, William cannot countenance the way Meghan has treated his wife,” the insider continued, before suggesting that despite Kate attempting to help Meghan navigate royal life, her efforts were “constantly misinterpreted”.
They added:“But to name Kate so publicly during the Oprah interview as the person who made her cry was beyond the pale. Meghan would have been acutely aware that Kate is powerless to fight back.”
