Meghan Markle has a special way of reminding her children that they're loved.
The Duchess of Sussex, who shares a son, Archie, 6, and daughter, Lilibet, with her husband of seven years, Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, has created email accounts for her children to explore when they're older. On the podcast The Jamie Kern Lima Show, Markle revealed that she sends her children emails "almost every night" for them to read in the future and reflect on the progress they've made.
In the clip below, the former actress said that she plans to track her kids' report cards, silly moments or photos of them playing with the dog as "the things that you're not going to frame, things that you're not going to put pen to paper in a journal."
"But they will end up at one point in their life, maybe when they're 16 or when they're 18, that I say, 'Here's an email that I've been keeping for you,'" Markle continued.
"And here's everything and every moment that I wanted to tell you, how much I love you and how proud I am of you."
Markle wants her children to "look back" and realize how much their mother loved them.
"And that's, I think, the best part about being a mom and we go back to like, a love language or gifts," she continued. "It's not about the grandeur of a gesture. It's about, 'I see you. I'm nurturing you and I see you so deeply. And I love being able to see your growth,' and I'm just so proud of them."
Markle went on to call emailing her children the "greatest gift" and a "time capsule," adding that she also saves voice notes of Archie and Lilibet.
Markle, who hosts Netflix lifestyle show With Love, Meghan, often shares other family traditions on social media, like baking lemon cakes for U.K. Mother's Day, and flower picking.
