Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's children are growing up!

In the latest episode of the Archetypes podcast, the Duchess of Sussex explored the tropes of the "good" vs "bad" wife with first lady of Canada Sophie Trudeau and actress Pamela Adlon. During the conversation, Meghan revealed an exciting new milestone that her one-year-old daughter, Lilibet, recently achieved.

"Lili has just started walking," Meghan said, per People. "She's a year and a couple of months old."

Meanwhile, her three-year-old son Archie is "in the thick of it—toddling."

She added that the "morning rush" at her and Harry's home in Montecito, California can be a bit "chaotic."

"I'm sure it'll only get more chaotic as they get older," she said. "But for me, it's, you know, both monitors on for the kids to hear them, always up with Lili, get her downstairs, then a half hour later, Archie's up. I start doing his lunchbox right before he's up while I have her, getting her a little nibble. My husband's helping me get him downstairs."

Meghan also makes sure to prepare the most important meal of the day for her entire family—including their three dogs, Guy, Pula, and Mia.

"I make breakfast for all three of them. It's very important to me. I love doing it," she said. "To me, it just feels like the greatest way to start the morning."

She continued, "Then get Archie out the door for school, it feels like a whirlwind." When Adlon expressed that she hoped Harry helped with the kids in the morning, Meghan responded, "Oh, my husband? He's great."

Meghan additionally opened up about how having a daughter has altered how she moves through the world.

"I first just had Archie, now I'm a mom of a daughter," the duchess said. "And whether I thought it was going to happen or not, it did. I see the world differently through how she is going to see the world and how she is going to look at certain women as role models. And when I look at a lot of the women that I'm speaking to on this show, you included, I want her to understand that it is not just a box you have to fit into, but you get to be a full fledged, interesting, curious, kind, strong, all the things, human being. But you also get to be a woman with a voice."
