A new video shared by Meghan Markle showcases Princess Lilibet’s developing American accent and provides a glimpse into the family’s life in California. The video coincides with the launch of a new Mother’s Day collection from Meghan’s brand, As Ever.

Family Life in Montecito

Meghan Markle recently shared a video offering a look into her family life. The footage, filmed at the Sussexes’ $14 million Montecito mansion, features Meghan collaborating with chocolatier Jonathan Grahm, co-founder of Compartes, on a special Mother’s Day collection for As Ever.

Lilibet's Accent Emerges

During a tour of their chicken coop, four-year-old Lilibet excitedly told her mother she had collected “a grey” chicken egg. Her voice clearly displayed an American inflection. This isn’t the first time Lilibet’s accent has been noted; fans previously heard her voice in January 2025 during a tribute to the family’s late beagle, Guy, alongside her brother, Prince Archie, six.

A Fondness for Pink and New Business Venture

The video also highlighted Lilibet’s apparent fondness for the color pink, as she was wearing a bright pink dress. Fans have observed that she is frequently seen in rose-colored clothing.

The footage is part of a series of intimate glimpses into the family’s life that Meghan has been sharing on social media. Last April, she posted videos of Archie feeding koi fish and Lilibet enjoying her mother’s strawberry jam, also with a noticeable American twang.

Monetizing Royal Connections?

These moments offer a rare look into the lives of the Sussex children as they grow up in California, following Prince Harry and Meghan’s decision to step down as senior members of the Royal Family in 2020. The shift in accent is a clear indication of the children’s immersion in American culture.

Alongside the family moments, Meghan has launched a limited-edition Mother’s Day collection on As Ever. The collection features candles named after Archie and Lilibet, explicitly referencing their royal titles – ‘Prince Archie of Sussex’ and ‘Princess Lilibet of Sussex’.

Marketing Strategy Shift

This has led to some criticism, with accusations of monetizing her family’s royal connections. The collection also includes chocolates from Compartes.

The marketing strategy appears to have shifted, with products now being sent to a wider range of influencers, including those with smaller followings, compared to her previous jam collection which was sent to A-listers. Notable recipients include Meghan’s friends Kelly McKee Zajfen, Heather Dorak, and Adrianna Barrionuevo Brach, as well as influencers like Carly and Kristina Zias. Even Serena Williams received a PR package, though an unboxing video raised questions about the closeness of their friendship.
