Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are loving being parents of two.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex — who share 2-year-old son Archie and 6-month old daughter Lilibet — are getting into a good groove with their little family, a source has revealed.
According to a report from People, Meghan's makeup artist Daniel Martin revealed that the pair are doing better than ever since welcoming their newest bundle of joy.
"They are loving life as a family of four," Martin told the outlet while reflecting on his latest get-together with the pair back in November. "They've struck a rhythm as a foursome."
Martin's comments come in the wake of reports that the couple will not be traveling to the U.K. for a royal Christmas at the Palace. Instead, the happy mom-and-dad are content with keeping the holidays small and intimate with their little ones.
As OK! previously reported, Meghan and Harry "want to nest and make some home-cooked meals," for Christmas, and will likely only invite a handful of guests, including Meghan's mother Doria Ragland and celeb friends Katharine McPhee and David Foster.
"They'll have some get-togethers with friends and colleagues who've been by their side through thick and thin this year," a source stated, noting Harry isn't planning on meeting up with the rest of the royal family for the holidays.
The source added that Harry will be "sending messages and gifts," to a few loved ones in England, but that being with Meghan and his two kiddos is his main priority.
"At the end of the day, all that matters to Harry is that they'll be together," the insider concluded.
The couple have reportedly had a rocky relationship with members of the Palace since stepping down from their royal duties in March 2020.
Earlier this year, the pair revealed in a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey that one member of the royal family voiced concerns over the color of Archie's skin before he was born — concerns that are rumored to have been raised by Prince Charles.
As reported in Christopher Andersen's upcoming book Brothers and Wives: Inside the Private Lives of William, Kate, Harry and Meghan, the Duke of Cornwall allegedly asked, "What do you think their children's complexion might be?"
"The question posed by Charles was being echoed in a less innocent way throughout Buckingham Palace," Andersen wrote in his pages, while another insider claimed that Harry was told by his father that he was being "overly sensitive about the matter," after calling him out for the comment.
