The first volume of the docuseries Harry & Meghan saw the Duchess speaking about her tough childhood. Meghan Markle admitted feeling alone despite having two homes because of her parents’ divorce. However, the former actress did not wish for her firstborn Archie to have the same fate. She wanted Archie to grow up with his big royal family in the United Kingdom.

However, Archie is growing up away from his extended family. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the royal family in January 2020 when their son was eight months old. The couple is raising him and their daughter, Lilibet, at the Montecito home in California. In the fifth episode of the show, the Duchess discussed how she tried her best to save her relationship with other royal family members. 

Meghan Markle really wanted to be a part of the royal family 

The fifth episode of the much-hyped docuseries kick-started with a cute video of the little royal prince. In the short throwback clip, Archie could be seen adorably trying to navigate through a cornfield maze. Following the video, the Duchess of Sussex narrated the big plans she had for her son regarding the royal family. She admitted doing her best to mingle with the family. However, there was not much Meghan Markle could do as the efforts and love were not reciprocated. 

“So when I was pregnant with Archie. I was just so excited that we were going to create for him that thing that I had always wanted. And then the bubble burst,” Markle was quoted as saying to the Netflix camera.

Not only for Archie, but Markle wanted a big family like the royal household for herself as well. In the first volume of the docuseries, Meghan Markle revealed how spending her first Christmas with the royal family made her happy. Describing the events from December 2017, the Duchess claimed that she loved the vibe and feel of having a big family.
