Princess Lilibet’s adorable American accent is heard for the first time as she gives her two-word verdict on Meghan Markle’s jam

Princess Lilibet’s adorable American accent was heard for the first time as the three-year-old gave her one-word verdict on mother Meghan Markle’s jam. 

On Saturday, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, posted a video on Instagram in which she can be heard asking Lilibet what she thinks of her strawberry jam while preparing a fresh batch of the sweet treat. 

‘It’s beautiful,’ the toddler gushed, as her Californian accent shone through.

Since relaunching her Instagram account on New Year’s Day, Meghan has routinely shared glimpses of her life in Montecito, California – including pictures and videos of her and Prince Harry’s two children, Lilibet and Prince Archie. 

The first time royal fans heard Lilibet’s voice was in January 2025, when the Duchess posted an emotional tribute in memory of the Sussexes’ late beagle, Guy, on social media. 

Meghan’s video included a tender moment of the royal children singing to the beloved pooch as well as a clip of Prince Archie and Guy that was taken during a car journey. 

It appears that both Lilibet and Archie, five, have developed strong American accents since moving stateside; at one point, viewers can hear Archie say ‘he might fall’ with a pronounced twang while referring to the family’s beloved dog. 

Meghan’s latest Instagram video comes after she attended the Time100 Summit on Thursday.

During a conversation with Time CEO Jessica Sibley, Meghan confessed she had ‘always’ loved to ‘make things in my kitchen, do small flower arrangements, make a lot of jam‘, she added with a laugh.

When she began sending those items as gifts, Bela Bajaria, chief content officer of Netflix suggested ‘there’s a show here’, the actress-turned-entrepreneur claimed. 

Explaining how her lifestyle series As Ever came to be, Meghan then revealed: ‘I hadn’t at the onset thought that was something I wanted to share in that way.’

With a final thrust of enthusiasm for her latest project, she added: ‘Creatively we worked as partners to really find a way for it to land and for me to be able to share it and just have fun, which I think is really the goal in this chapter.’

The Duchess’ suggestion that she was initially bashful about the project will raise eyebrows in the face of the fact the show was several months in the making.

It was also inexorably tied to the launch of her lifestyle brand, As Ever – which she has also confessed to spending ‘so many years working on’ – and a line of merchandise ‘inspired’ by the show.

‘With Love, Meghan’ finally aired on Netflix in March after it was initially postponed due to the wildfires in Los Angeles.

But for all the hype and build-up to the show’s release, it was slated by reviewers as ‘gormless lifestyle filler’ with a ‘tangible desperation’.

Others said it shows the Duchess is ‘attempting to cling to fame by any means possible’, while another described how she was ‘joylessly filling kids’ party bags with seeds’.

Marina Hyde in The Guardian described the show as ‘sensationally absurd and trite’, adding: ‘The mildest way to describe this show is as a ghastly artefact of a particular cultural era that recently met its apocalypse.’

Meanwhile, The Telegraph gave the show just two stars. In a review, they said the series was an ‘exercise in narcissism, filled with extravagant brunches, celebrity pals and business plugs’.

Criticism was also levelled at the show for being about Meghan’s ‘intimate glimpse’ of life at home – yet it was revealed that it was not filmed in the Montecito-based mansion she shares with Prince Harry and their two children.
