Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet operate a “little farmer’s market stand” in their local community.
The children’s mother, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, explained she and her husband Prince Harry are keen for their kids to “understand the value of things”, so not only are the youngsters encouraged to help out in their garden in Montecito, California, the young prince, six, and his four-year-old sister also get to sell what they produce because the couple feel they can learn a lot that way.
Appearing on the Aspire with Emma Grede podcast, Meghan was asked if she talked about money “or that type of thing” with her children and she replied: “We sometimes do a little farmer’s market stand.
“We grow a lot of veggies and part of what I want them to learn is, and gardening is really so great for children, ’cause it teaches them patience, teaches them to value and appreciate their food.
“So you start from seed and you watch it grow, and they wait. But with that, it’s like, now do you want to sell your harvest? And do you want to share it with our community? And also, what do you want to do with those funds once you have them?
“So really starting to understand as they’re learning counting and numbers and all of those things, that there’s a cost and a price for things.
“And I think that’s key for children to understand that, especially children who are very lucky to have a home that has privilege.
“You need to know that, just like manners, and taking care of the things around you, there is a value on things.
“In our life, for my husband and I, it’s really important that they understand the value of things.”
Meanwhile, Meghan also admitted she is delaying a second season of her own podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, because she is keen to take on the advice from her guests and focus on her lifestyle brand As Ever for the time being.
She said: “What an amazing opportunity, to pull back the curtain and let people see what’s happening at the start, to have the opportunity to talk to so many female founders who’ve been on that full trajectory, that are on the other side of success. To be able to be really candid and vulnerable personally about my learns and stumbles along the way.
“And to then take everyone’s advice, and mine included, and to say ‘I love that there’s so much excitement and desire for another season, but I need to focus on my business.'”
The 43-year-old former actress insisted she wouldn’t be shelving the series forever.
She said: “So does it mean it won’t come back? No. But I would love to bring the show back when I am at a different end of my founder journey.
“When I’ve gone through Q4 and say, ‘Here are my proof points. Wow, what a year it’s been.’ Or even longer than that. I think a different time will be so exciting to be able to compare and contrast.”
