Here's What Meghan Markle's Friends Think She'll Be Like as a Mom
It was only a little less than two weeks ago that Meghan Markle gave birth to her first child, Archie, but already her friends are sharing what they think she'll be like as a mom. Spoiler: She's going to be great.
In the new CBS special, Meghan and Harry Plus One, Gayle King spoke to Markle's close friend—and wedding-day makeup artist—Daniel Martin and fellow actress Janina Gavankar about the duchess's parenting style, among other things. (Buckingham Palace released a rare statement about the special saying, "The Duchess has not had any involvement in the CBS special, nor has she requested or given permission to friends to participate.")
Gavankar thinks, in many ways, the Duchess of Sussex will be like all the other doting new moms out there. "She's gonna be such a good mother," she said. "I think she'll be very low maintenance, very hands-on. The way she would have been if she hadn't married into the royal family." However, she also believes Markle will "run a tight ship."

WPA Pool"Parenting is difficult in the beginning, but I feel like they got this," Martin told King. "They're ready for this…there's just gonna be so much love for that baby. I feel like Meghan and H are really going to keep this kid real."
It also seems like Markle's foodie nature and California roots will come into play as she and Harry raise Archie "with lots of healthy home-cooked meals, no doubt," Martin said. "I'm sure the baby's gonna be raised, like … definitely clean and green. She loves to cook … eating organic whenever she can." He also says he wouldn't be surprised if the duchess makes her own baby food. (If only she could still post recipes on The Tig!)
As for new dad Prince Harry? "He's so good with kids … even when they were doing the family portrait after the wedding with everybody, he was on the floor, just playing with the kids," Martin adds. "And that's when I knew, like, he's gonna be the coolest dad."
It sounds like baby Archie is in very capable hands indeed.
