Meghan Markle reveals what a normal workday is like with Prince Harry: In-N-Out Burger 'knows our order'
- Meghan Markle revealed what a normal workday is like for her and Prince Harry.
- She said they work from home a lot so they can spend more time with their young kids.
Meghan Markle told Variety what a normal workday is like for her and Prince Harry, adding that the local In-N-Out Burger even knows their order.
Variety named the Duchess of Sussex as one of the members of its 2022 Power of Women class, interviewing her about her work and Queen Elizabeth's death.
Meghan spoke to the outlet about what her day-to-day work life is like, sharing that she and Prince Harry work side by side in their Montecito, California, home. The couple moved to California following their step back as senior members of the royal family in 2020.
Surprisingly, Harry and Meghan's daily routine may look familiar to other parents of small children who are working from home.
"We share an office. We work from home, as most people started to do during lockdown," she told Variety. "It allows us to have significant time with our kids at this really special moment in their lives. We'll never get this time back."
Meghan and Harry have two kids: Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1. Lilibet is named after her late great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth.
To start the day, Meghan said she makes breakfast, and then, together, she and Harry get the kids ready for their day.
They then start their work day together, which includes many Zoom calls, as Meghan told Variety.
The couple runs Archewell together, which is named after their son and includes philanthropic endeavors, productions, and audio projects, like Meghan's podcast "Archetypes."
"We do a lot of joint calls and Zooms, but also try to divide what we can focus our energies on so we can accomplish even more," Meghan told Variety of her and Harry's approach to their work.
Harry is "very good at responding on text," she said, adding that he works with many people who aren't in the same time zone as he is.
"Me, I try to be as fast as possible on email," she told Variety. "I've always said, if it takes less than five minutes, do it now."
Meghan also told the outlet that she and Harry don't do casual work-from-home snacks. Instead, they eat chocolate-chip cookies "the size of my toddler's head" and drive an hour to the closest In-N-Out for lunch at times.
"My husband's favorite is In-N-Out. There's one at the halfway point between LA and our neck of the woods," Meghan said. "It's really fun to go through the drive-thru and surprise them. They know our order."
