Meghan Markle sends secret emails to her kids Archie and Lilibet every night — And the reason will break your heart

It's been five years since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left their role as senior members of the UK royal family and moved to their Montecito home in the US. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex live in the USA with their two children-- Archie and Lilibet, and it looks like they have already started building a legacy for them.
After starting her own new podcast 'The Confessions of Female Founder', Meghan appeared on someone else's podcast for the very first time. Meghan spoke to her friend Jamie Kern Lima for the latter's podcast, wherein she revealed her quiet family life, away from the British media's scrutiny. In the podcast, Meghan also shared that she writes emails to her children every night because "it doesn't have to be a heavy lift". The idea is that she wants to create a digital "time capsule" with snapshots of their daily lives for them to look back at when they turn 16 or 18! Meghan also revealed that she got the idea from another mother who did the same.
"I thought it was such a great time capsule to create for them because I used to have scrapbooks and photo albums, but we're past that generation now... They're the 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... that I say, 'Here's an email that I've been keeping for you'," the Duchess shared.
Meghan said that she has created two email accounts for her children-- Archie and Lilibet-- with names no one could ever guess, wherein she sends emails about their everyday little moments together. It's her way of showing them, "I see you. I'm nurturing you, and I see you so deeply. And I love being able to see your growth."
Host Jamie Kern Lima described the gesture as “chilling — in the most beautiful way,” while Meghan admitted she felt emotional even speaking about it.
