Meghan breaks down workday with Harry from shared office to ‘24-hour time zone’

2022-10-19

Meghan Markle has shared her working from home life with husband Prince Harry, as she revealed the pair often get through tasks side-by-side in their home office.

The Duchess of Sussex, 41, has opened up on her life in a new interview with US magazine Variety, speaking about everything from Queen Elizabeth's death to her and 38 year old Harry's favourite fast food restaurant and their home life.

She said that working from home allows her and Harry to share "significant time" with their two children, Archie, three, and Lilibet, 16 months, and she even gave an insight into Harry's "24-hour time zone."

Meghan, Harry and their children live in sprawling £12.5million ($14m) mansion in Montecito, California, where they moved following their 2020 departure from official royal life.

She said: "We share an office. We work from home, as most people started to do during lockdown. It allows us to have significant time with our kids at this really special moment in their lives.

"We’ll never get this time back. I make breakfast, and we get the kids set for the day.

"We do a lot of joint calls and Zooms, but also try to divide what we can focus our energies on so we can accomplish even more."

Meghan continued: "My husband is on a 24-hour time zone, where half of your life is waking up as the other half is going to sleep. It’s kind of the reverse of what I went through living in the UK.

"He’s very good at responding on text. Me, I try to be as fast as possible on email. I’ve always said, if it takes less than five minutes, do it now."

Reflecting on the death of the Queen, Meghan said: "It's been a complicated time, but my husband, ever the optimist, said, 'Now she's reunited with her husband.'"

Meghan was there to support Harry throughout the aftermath of the Queen's passing, as the pair coincidentally happened to be in the UK on a work trip at the time of the late monarch's death.

She said: "There's been such an outpouring of love and support. I'm really grateful that I was able to be with my husband to support him, especially during that time.

"What's so beautiful is to look at the legacy that his grandmother was able to leave on so many fronts.

"Certainly, in terms of female leadership, she is the most shining example of what that looks like. I feel deep gratitude to have been able to spend time with her and get to know her."

Meghan discussed her and Harry's love of takeout, as she proved they are just like any other couple when indulging in a burger.

She said: "My husband's favorite is In-N-Out. There's one at the halfway point between LA and our neck of the woods. It's really fun to go through the drive-thru and surprise them. They know our order."
