MEGHAN Markle took to the kitchen once more yesterday to show off some green waffles she made for St Patrick’s Day.
Following her Netflix cooking show, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, whipped up the tasty treat for Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three.
On her @meghan Instagram account, she showed how she whipped up some batter and then added it to her waffle maker.
She then decorated the breakfast creation to make a smiley face for the kids, including adding a kiwi for a mouth and blueberries for the eyes.
Meanwhile, the mum-of-two also made a plate for husband Prince Harry, 40, with his version having strawberries and whipped cream.
Meghan wrote: “We love a theme.
“Happy St. Patrick's Day.”
The treat could have been a special nod to the late Queen, who gave Prince Archie a waffle maker for Christmas.
Prince Harry revealed the generous gift to James Corden in 2021 as he appeared on the Late Late Show.
He shared: “My grandmother asked us what Archie wanted for Christmas, and Meg said a waffle maker.
“She sent us a waffle maker for Archie.
“So breakfast now, Meg makes up a beautiful organic mix and throws it in the waffle iron. “Archie's review? He loves it.
“So much so, Archie wakes up in the morning and literally just goes, 'Waffle?’”
It hasn’t been confirmed if the waffle maker was the exact model from the Queen.
The device appears to be the Cuisinart Single Belgian Round Waffle Maker, which is available at Walmart for $198.50 (£152), or a double version is being sold on Home Loft for £256.
This follows With Love, Meghan - featuring the duchess cooking with celebrity pals like Mindy Kaling - aired on Netflix on March 4 to mixed reviews.
The show is the second Netflix collaboration for the Sussexes, who signed a lucrative multi-million pound deal with the streaming giant back in 2020.
Meg's show success
Despite the show being rated 3/10 on IMDb, it has been renewed for a second series.
A TV insider said: "This may raise a few eyebrows but one thing which Netflix love is controversy - and this show certainly created a lot of debate.
"Many were so scathing about the eight-part series that they thought there was no way it would get another season.
"But it seems the streamer is delighted with the chatter it's created on both sides of the Atlantic.”
Throughout the series, Meghan shared a variety of recipes, including a cooked breakfast, skillet spaghetti and a honey and lemon cake.
She also demonstrated her method for making tea by steeping bags in cold water under the sun for two to three hours, using "nice silk bags, lots of leaf tea, and just let it steep with the warmth of the sun."
Meghan’s St Patrick’s Day breakfast isn’t the first time she has done a themed meal for her kids.
Previously she cut strawberries into hearts for Archie and Lilibet on Valentine's Day last month.
Kate's St Patrick Day
Across the pond, Princess Kate was snapped sipping a glass of Guinness during her trip to the St Patrick's Day Parade.
The Princess of Wales dropped in on the Irish Guards at Wellington Barracks, with the regiment taking part in the celebration of the patron saint of Ireland.
Kate was seen wearing a bottle green coat fit for the occasion as she exited her car on arrival at the barracks.
The princess not only graced the parade but followed up with the generous gesture of putting money behind the bar for the parade's after party.
She also spoke for the first time about Prince William's beard which he has sported now for the past six months.
Chatting about her hirsute hubby to section commanders, said: "These trends come and go. I was saying to my husband, I'm not sure how long he’s going to keep his for."
Kate was also in a mood to look to the future, admitting she hoped to take George, Charlotte and Louis, on a Royal tour of Australia and New Zealand.
The visit marked her second St Patrick's Day as Colonel of the Irish Guards, a role she took on in 2023.
This comes as the Princess of Wales is returning to royal duties after completing her cancer treatment.
Meanwhile, Kate, 43, joined husband Prince William, 42, at Saturday's Six Nations rugby clash between England and Wales on Saturday.
