Meghan Markle has celebrated UK Mother's Day by sharing a glimpse into her family traditions on Instagram.

The Duchess of Sussex posted a photo of what appears to be a homemade citrus pie, beautifully garnished with orange slices and topped with a delicate edible flower.


Meghan captioned the post: "Our family tradition. Mothering Sunday in the UK."

A small hand can be seen holding the plate in the photo, suggesting one of her children may have helped with the creation.

The 43-year-old has been sharing snapshots of her both her domestic life and professional ventures since launching her Instagram page on January 1, 2025.

These include images of baked goods, recipe tips and candid moments with her children Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three.

Followers have seen the young royals baking cookies, crafting decorations and helping their mother prepare themed breakfasts.

Last year, the Sussexes spent the US Mother's Day in Nigeria, where Meghan admitted to missing her children during the trip.

She said in a video shared to social media: "I am very, very grateful, I am very humbled, and today is Mother's Day."

"Though, of course, we are missing our children, I'm missing my babies, it feels very appropriate to be in the motherland and amongst family."

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced they would be stepping back from working royal duties in January 2020.

Shortly after their departure, the couple moved to California, where they currently reside with their two children.

Meghan's Mother's Day post comes despite the Duchess of Sussex's decision to cut ties with the UK.

Prince Harry's wife has not returned to the UK since Queen Elizabeth II's funeral in September 2022.

She turned down an invitation to King Charles's Coronation in May 2023 and has not joined Harry on any of his trips to London throughout 2023 and 2024.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down as working royals and moved to the US in 2020.
