Meghan Markle is keeping up with a cherished family tradition while her husband, Prince Harry, remaiembroiled in controversy.
On Sunday, March 30, the Duchess of Sussex shared a heartfelt Instagram update in honor of Mothering Sunday, a significant holiday celebrated in the UK. The post featured a delectable lemon pie with slightly burnt edges, a rich lime pudding filling, and delicate red flowers as decoration.
Alongside the image, Meghan wrote, “Our family tradition. Mothering Sunday in the UK.” The post quickly garnered attention, with fans admiring her simple yet sentimental way of marking the occasion.
Mothering Sunday, often referred to as Mother’s Day in the UK, falls on the fourth Sunday of Lent. The day is dedicated to celebrating mothers and maternal figures, with families traditionally coming together to share love and appreciation.
However, Meghan’s sweet tribute comes at a time of significant turmoil for Prince Harry. The Duke of Sussex recently stepped down from his patron role at Sentebale, the charity he co-founded in 2006 in memory of his mother, Princess Diana.
Harry’s resignation has been overshadowed by serious accusations of bullying, harassment, sexism, and racism within the organization. Sentebale’s chairperson, Sophie Chandauka, publicly accused the prince of misconduct, further intensifying the scandal surrounding his exit.
In his official statement, Harry expressed deep regret over leaving the charity. “Nearly twenty years ago, we founded Sentebale in honour of our mothers.

Sentebale means ‘forget-me-not’ in Sesotho, the local language of Lesotho, and it’s what we’ve always promised for the young people we’ve served through this charity,” he stated.
He added, “Today is no different. With heavy hearts, we have resigned from our roles as Patrons of the organisation until further notice, in support of and solidarity with the board of trustees who have had to do the same.”
Royal experts suggest that Meghan’s Instagram post could be an attempt to shift public focus from the controversy surrounding Harry. Some critics argue that her public display of warmth contrasts sharply with the ongoing tensions within Sentebale.
Meanwhile, speculation continues about how this scandal will impact Harry’s reputation and future philanthropic efforts. The legal threats from Sophie Chandauka have raised questions about whether the Duke could face further fallout from the accusations.
Despite the storm surrounding her husband, Meghan appears to be embracing family moments and traditions, reinforcing her role as a devoted mother to Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
As the Sussexes navigate yet another public controversy, one thing remains clear—Meghan is determined to keep moving forward, one carefully curated social media post at a time.
