Meghan Markle is back in the spotlight.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, flew from her home in California to New York to tape an interview on “The Drew Barrymore Show” that will air Thursday.
Markle’s rare TV appearance comes after the release of her Netflix series “With Love, Meghan” and ahead of her As Ever lifestyle brand launch.
During the interview, Markle revealed that her children Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, have picked up Prince Harry’s British accent, per Us Weekly.
“OK, what’s your favorite thing that you see in your kids that you go, ‘Oh, that’s their dad,’” Barrymore, 50, asked the former actress.
“Oh, some of the words that they still say with a British accent, so they’ll say z-e-b-r-a and what else do they say? They have these little moments where it comes out and because they have very American accents, but they say words that are just like him and I think it’s adorable,” Markle shared.
“Zebra is a good one,” she added.
The talk show also released a clip from the pair’s sit-down conversation on Wednesday.
“I always make it a point when I’m traveling if I can’t do bedtime stories with my kids, because Archie and Lili are just 3 and 5, so I’ll pack a really thin book and I’lll videotape myself reading it, so whoever’s with them…or papa can say, ‘Here’s mama reading your bedtime story,” Markle told Barrymore.
Markle added, “You find ways to show up for each other, and if that’s the one thing I can convey through the show, or through As Ever as a brand, I want people to know you can show up for each other because you know how good it feels when someone shows up for you.”
Markle’s last daytime TV appearance was on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” in Nov. 2021.
At the time, Markle spoke to her famous close friend about the beginning of her acting career, her old car that she drove to auditions, her two kids and her children’s book, “The Bench,” that came out earlier that year.
Markle also participated in a pre-recorded segment where she pranked local venders as DeGeneres gave her instructions through an earpiece.
On Tuesday, the “Suits” alum came out with her lifestyle series on Netflix that is being dragged by some critics and viewers.
The eight-episode show, produced by Markle and Harry’s Archewell Productions, features Markle showing off her cooking and gardening skills at home in Montecito, Calif., with appearances by some of her celebrity friends — including Mindy Kaling.
noti.group’s Kirsten Fleming said it was “as flat and as basic as a Pinterest board from a decade ago.”
“She’s making candles, she’s making focaccia, she’s making lavender towels. She’s making me check my watch. When will this be over?”
The Guardian TV writer Stuart Heritage, meanwhile, called the series “pointless” and said it should be the “last TV show” for the couple, who signed a $100 million deal with the streamer in 2020.
Markle is also preparing to launch her new lifestyle business that she rebranded from American Riviera Orchard to As Ever last month after dealing with a slew of trademark snafus.
She announced the first line of As Ever products, which includes her signature raspberry jam, three types of herbal teas and shortbread cookies with flower sprinkles, but hasn’t shared an exact date for when they’re available for purchase.
