Meghan Markle is always proving she’s an adorable and down-to-earth royal, especially when she shows us she’s got a funny side.
During an interview with Ellen, she revealed her children have an adorable nickname for her pal.
In the interview, Meghan took the opportunity to gush about how 'happy' she and Prince Harry are living in their $14 million Montecito mansion with their two children Archie and Lili, having relocated to the US when they stepped down as senior working royals in 2020.
Meghan also opened up about her days as a struggling actress and how she drove to auditions in a Ford Explorer - a stark contrast to the life she’s living nowadays.
She also gave some intimate details about her family life.
In the interview, Meghan revealed that Lilibet 'Lili' Diana has started teething. Lili was born in Santa Barbara, California, June 4 2021. She is the eleventh great-grandchild of Queen Elizabeth II and is eighth in the line of succession to the British throne.
The 40-year-old mother-of-two opened up about Lili's milestone with Ellen, who she is very close with after they had a chance encounter at an animal shelter.

Meghan said she was looking for any ideas to help relieve the pain, to which DeGeneres replied: “Tequila, anything.”
The controversial comment provoked a laugh, and it was the perfect opportunity for Meghan to sass Ellen.
She poked fun at the suggestion saying: “"That’s Auntie Ellen for you."
DeGeneres then joked: “That’s why I don’t have kids.”
The interview made eagle-eyed viewers swoon because Meghan suggested her children refer to Ellen as ‘Auntie’, despite the fact they are not related.
It’s heartwarming to see the two celebrities get on so fantastically.
One wrote: “Aww, Meghan Markle and Ellen DeGeneres are two peas in a pod.”
Meghan's long-time makeup artist and friend Daniel Martin also shared some insight into her interview with Ellen, telling People that the talk show host 'pulled out Meghan's goofy, funny side.’
The interview received millions of views, with people desperate to hear more about Meghan and Harry’s personal life, and to hear the sweet nickname for themselves.
In the same interview, Meghan Markle participated in a pre-recorded prank, leaving viewers in hysterics.
Through an earpiece, Ellen directed Meghan to say and do everything she said in the skit.
There were some seriously laugh-out-loud moments, like seeing the Duchess of Sussex randomly squat, drink from a baby bottle, and eat food like a chipmunk.
