Meghan Markle shared a glimpse into her Mother's Day celebrations on Monday, revealing that she took her two young children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, to Disneyland for the day.

The Duchess of Sussex posted several photos from the special outing, including a sweet snap with her mother, Doria Ragland, who beamed as she received a kiss on the cheek from her only child. 

Meghan looked chic in a white button-down shirt and blue jeans, while Doria opted to wear a beige button-down tucked into her jeans. The pair both sported Mickey Mouse ears, following the decades-long Disneyland tradition.

Meghan also shared a picture of Lilibet receiving a hug from the Disney park's Cinderella actress, as well as a photo of the young royals on a boat ride.

"I went with my mom and my brother. I remember it very, very well," Harry said in the interview. "I remember losing it as a kid with all the characters. Like, losing it." The father of two added that he went on the Space Mountain ride "10, maybe 12 times". 

Meanwhile, Meghan shared that the park was "more accessible" to her, a "southern California girl", but it was "still the biggest treat in the world". Sharing the Disneyland experience with their two kids all those years later was a joy, as Harry described.

"To see the kids throw themselves into these experiences when they have no idea what they're walking into – it was amazing. And it brings out the kid in you again."

Meghan previously opened up about the importance of being present for her kids on The Jamie Kern Lima Show. "For them to be able to look back and go, 'Oh my gosh, she has loved us so much!' That's, I think, the best part about being a mom," she said.

"It's not about the grandeur of a gesture, it's about 'I see you. I'm nurturing, and I see you so deeply, and I love being able to see your growth.' I'm just so proud of them."
