Meghan Markle has given fans a rare glimpse inside her Montecito home as she and Prince Harry celebrated their eighth wedding anniversary. The Duchess of Sussex shared videos on Instagram Stories showing the couple with a decorated cake and a unique gift of a penguin statue.
Eagle-eyed fans noticed several details in the background, including a whiteboard with what appears to be the schedules of their children, Archie and Lilibet, and a wooden sign reading 'Archie's chickens' next to fresh eggs. Two clay sculptures and a card addressed to 'Mama and Papa' suggested the children made gifts for the occasion.
In the videos, Harry brought out a lemon and elderflower cake, the same flavour as their 2018 wedding cake, with four lit candles. The family sang 'Happy anniversary to Mama and Papa' to the tune of 'Happy Birthday'. However, fans were confused by the four candles, questioning why an eight-year anniversary had only four candles.
Some speculated the four candles symbolised the four family members: Harry, Meghan, Archie, and Lilibet. Others joked that Harry might simply have run out of candles. The cake was made by Claire Ptak of Violet Cakes in east London, who also made their wedding cake and reflected on the occasion on social media.
