Ever since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry chose to leave their UK life behind and establish their home in California, the public has only caught a few glimpses of their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Given that privacy and a desire to escape the constant spotlight on the royal family were key motivations behind their royal exit, it's understandable that they are fiercely protective of the Sussex children, choosing to share any family photos or insights strictly on their own terms.

Both Meghan and Harry have been candid about their personal struggles with living in the public eye, with the Duchess of Sussex even confessing that media scrutiny during her first pregnancy led to suicidal thoughts.

• Prince Harry told to make first move in ending ongoing rift with Kate Middleton

While the couple's strict privacy policy provides their children with crucial normality in their daily lives, royal fans are always thrilled to catch a glimpse of Archie and Lilibet's activities.

Meghan's revelation of the adorable nicknames Archie uses for his parents was likely no exception.

In a heartfelt chat with The Cut magazine last year, Meghan unveiled the adorably sweet nicknames little Archie has for his parents: Momma and Papa. While dwelling on what made her and Harry enamored with their Montecito estate, she described two impressive palm trees that are intertwined at their base occupying the center of their verdant lawn.

The Duchess fondly recounted, "'One of the first things my husband saw when we walked around the house was those two palm trees,' she coos. 'See how they're connected at the bottom? He goes, 'My love, it's us.'" This touching image has cemented itself so deeply in Archie’s life that he now greets the trees as if they were his own parents, chirping "Hi, Momma. Hi, Papa," reports the Mirror.

The extensive interview provided even more gems about their family life, like the emphasis Meghan and Harry place on teaching their children good manners and an intimate snapshot where Meghan lovingly embraces Archie after preschool in a hug brimming with pure emotion—with both mother and child closing their eyes in a moment of deep connection.
