Meghan Markle reveals Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet’s ‘love’ for Australian cartoon

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex travelled to the country last month

Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet are huge fans of an Australian cartoon, Meghan Markle has revealed.

The Duchess of Sussex made the admission during a guest appearance on the Australian YouTube programme Get Down with Sean and Marley during her recent visit to the country.

The show is hosted by best friends Sean and Marley, both of whom have Down syndrome, and has amassed a substantial online following through content featuring the pair cooking and experiencing new activities together.

The duo previously recreated Meghan’s spaghetti recipe from her Netflix series With Love, Meghan, prompting the duchess to send them a handwritten note along with “beautiful gifts” in return.

Keen to reciprocate the gesture, the hosts invited Meghan onto their programme to present her with Australian-themed gifts.

Among the presents were stuffed toy versions of Bluey and Bingo from the beloved Australian animated series.

Upon receiving them, Meghan revealed that her children are fans of the programme.

“Our kids love Bluey!” she exclaimed.

The duchess went on to reference a particular episode, quoting a line from the show: “There’s an episode, what does she say, she goes ‘Gonna go take a nan-nap, love!’”

She then asked the hosts whether they had seen that instalment, clearly enthusiastic about discussing the cartoon with fellow viewers.

Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet’s fondness for the programme marks a rare insight into the young royals’ viewing habits.

The hosts also presented Meghan with a rather revealing Speedo featuring the phrase “Aussie Bum” on the back.

The duchess immediately declared the swimwear would be destined for her husband, describing Prince Harry as “the love of my life.”

In a playful moment, she suggested the couple might consider renewing their wedding vows with the Duke sporting the skimpy garment.

Meghan demonstrated her familiarity with Australian vernacular by correctly identifying the colloquial term for the item as “budgie smugglers,” which prompted her to dissolve into laughter.

The exchange showcased the duchess’s relaxed rapport with her hosts throughout the appearance.
