Meghan's actual birthday is today. A source spoke to People about her dynamic at home with Harry in a new report published today.
A family insider told People that Meghan and Harry “seemed really happy together. Harry seems to be embracing this life he has with Meghan and knows it’s a very different one than he had before, of course.”
“Meghan does seem to run the household and make the decisions, but it’s not that he bends for her,” the source continued. “It’s just a dynamic that works for them, and maybe one that he needs after everything he’s been through.” The outlet added that the couple mostly keeps to themselves in their Montecito home.
“They’re not into a big scene,” a friend told People. “They prefer smaller group hangouts at home, karaoke, that sort of thing.”
With their children Archie, 4, and Lili, 2, a source told People, Harry and Meghan “are very united when it comes to family values and how to raise their kids. They are both great parents. Their kids are their world.” They want them to “have a normal life as much as possible,” with their upbringing being “very play-based. They have several play areas, including a climbing gym on their property.”
