Royal fans spot sweet detail on Meghan Markle’s mood board – as she shares Archie’s adorable artwork

Royal fans have spotted a sweet detail on Meghan Markle’s Instagram post where she appeared to share her son’s artwork amid her inspiration for lifestyle brand As Ever.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, posted a snapshot of her mood board, along with the caption: ‘From memory lane to the memories I’m making today…’

A mood board is an arrangement of images, pieces of text and even materials to help with inspiration. 

The former royal pinned an emerald green tie-dyed paper star to her board which had ‘Archie’ written on it in bold black ink along with some swirls and doodles.

It is thought to be a drawing made by her eldest child, Prince Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, who is five years old.

A fan wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: ‘Aww look at Prince Archie’s drawing!! I can’t.’ 

The mood board had an image of pancake with a face on, which she is thought to have shared with Archie and her daughter Princess Lilibet, who is three years old. 

This is not the first time Meghan has shared her children’s creativity, as she also posted a rare clip of her son and daughter making Valentine’s Day treats with red bagels last week.

And Prince Archie and Princess Lili aren’t the only royal children whose artistic talents have been revealed to the public – with the Princess of Wales sharing portraits made by her children earlier this week. 

Also pinned up on the board was a drawing created by a Connecticut-based artist of her and Prince Harry, 40, kissing while walking their late dog, Guy.

She hung up old pictures that she posted on her defunct blog, The Tig, which she deactivated in 2017 before announcing her engagement to Prince Harry.

And Meghan, who currently has two million followers on Instagram, also gave a nod to her latest business venture on the board.

She also included jam jar labels from her lifestyle brand, As Ever, formerly known as American Riviera Orchard. 

The mother-of-two claimed that the original name of her brand ‘limited’ her to ingredients that were made in the area, and explained she instead wanted a broader name; something she claimed she has been working on ‘for the past few years’.

The former royal, who now resides in Montecito after leaving the Firm in 2020 with Prince Harry said in the clip: ‘Last year, I had thought, ‘American Riviera’, that sounds like such a great name. It’s my neighbourhood; it’s a nickname for Santa Barbara, but it limited me to things that were just manufactured and grown in this area.

‘Then Netflix came on, not just as a partner in this show but also as a partner in my business, it was huge.

‘So I thought about it and I’ve been waiting for a moment to share a name I secured in 2022 and this is the moment and it’s called As Ever.’ 

However, Meghan’s explanation is at odds with a previous Vanity Fair report about the name; in which residents in the Montecito/Santa Barbara area had never heard of the region being called ‘American Riviera Orchard’. 

Along with placing elements from her passion projects, both old and new, on the board, the Duchess also scattered quotes across it.

These include: ‘You cannot make everybody happy, you are not a jar of Nutella;

‘Not to spoil the ending for you, but everything is going to be okay; 

‘Happiness looks gorgeous on you;

‘I love you with all my butt. I would say heart but my butt is bigger;

‘Stay close to the people who make you feel like sunshine.’

She also included several images of dishes she’s made, seemingly for her upcoming Netflix show, As Ever, Meghan.

According to the streaming giant ‘Meghan, Duchess of Sussex invites friends and famous guests to a beautiful California estate, where she shares cooking, gardening and hosting tips’.

The show was delayed from its original January launch date due to the LA Wildfires.

Products will include food such as ‘fruit preserves’, as Meghan grandly called them today, adding: ‘I think we’re all clear at this point that jam is my jam’.

Prior to Meghan’s brand changing its name to As Ever on Monday, internet sleuths had already discovered a Shopify website she’d set up for her products, featuring an unseen picture of the Duchess cooking. 

The shot of the Duchess of Sussex using a mixing bowl is believed to have been taken during Meghan’s original American Riviera Orchard promo almost a year ago.

She is wearing the same white outfit and appears to be in the same kitchen filmed for the brief teaser trailer filmed when American Riviera Orchard’s existence was revealed last March.
