    Meghan, Duchess of Sussex has revealed her children copy their father Prince Harry's accent when pronouncing certain words despite growing up in California

    The 44-year-old former actress, who lives in Montecito with Harry, 40, and their children Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four, shared the detail during the second season of her Netflix series With Love, Meghan, which premiered on 26 August


    Speaking on the programme, Meghan said: "Some of the words that they still say with a British accent. "So they'll say, 'Ze-bra,' and what else do they say? They have these little moments where it comes out. "They have very American accents, but they say words that are just like him, and I think it's adorable. "Zebra is a good one."

    The comment echoed remarks she made earlier this year on The Drew Barrymore Show.

    When Drew asked what traits in her children reminded her of Harry, Meghan replied: "Oh, some of the words that they still say with a British accent. So they'll say, 'Ze-bra' ... I think it's adorable."

    On her Netflix series, Meghan also spoke about differences in her own pronunciation compared to Harry. She said: "My husband always laughs when I say 'herbs' - he's like, 'Herbs.' He's like, 'You're so American - 'Erbs, 'erbs.'"

    Meghan and Harry stepped back from royal duties in 2020 and relocated to California, eventually settling in the Santa Barbara enclave of Montecito.

    Lilibet was born there in 2021.

    In an interview with People magazine, Meghan said of the community: "Once you know us, I think you want us to have the same normalcy as parents and for our children as they do, despite however unique our situation."

    She described how family life includes going out together in their local area.

    Meghan added: "We go to a lot of dinners, and not just in people's homes or private rooms; we just go into the restaurant. I really love that we can just have fun."

    The eight-episode second season of With Love, Meghan features appearances from Chrissy Teigen, Tan France, Jay Shetty, Radhi Devlukia, José Andrés, Clare Smyth, David Chan and Samin Nosrat, alongside Meghan's friends Jamie Kern Lima, Heather Dorak and Daniel Martin.

    Earlier this month, Harry and Meghan announced their creative partnership with Netflix had been extended in a multi-year first-look deal for film and television.
