Meghan Markle has spoken about a frightening ordeal that saw her son Archie narrowly escape a fire in his bedroom, leaving the family ‘in tears’ and ‘shaken’.
The Duchess of Sussex recounted the events on her new podcast, Archetypes, as the first episode guest starring tennis champion Serena Williams was released on Tuesday. Meghan explained that the incident happened when she and husband Prince Harry were on tour in South Africa with then four-month-old Archie.
Archie’s then-nanny had just briefly taken the youngster from his bedroom to grab a snack downstairs when the fire broke out, The Mirror reports . “In that amount of time that she went downstairs, the heater in the nursery caught on fire,” Meghan recalled.
