In case you’ve been wondering what the Sussex kids have been up to since Meghan Markle, 42, and her husband, Prince Harry, 39, shared a rare statement about their children back in February, this royal reporter is here to relay the sweet update the Duchess of Sussex gave during the couple’s three-day trip to Nigeria.

Earlier this morning, the royal pair were photographed arriving at the Lightway Academy, which is located in the capital of Abuja. During their trip, Prince Harry and Markle visited a classroom inside the school, where kindergarteners danced and sang songs for them.

According to Hello! Magazine, the royal spare asked the group of students, “Is singing and dancing your favorite class?” And that’s when Markle shared a tidbit about her two-year-old daughter, Princess Lilibet. While calling the young royal by her nickname, the Suits actress told the kindergarteners, “That’s Lili’s favorite class,” she said, before adding, “Maybe it’s all the jumping around.”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex also visited a STEM class on campus and the royal couple were shown the students’ robotic projects. Shortly after Prince Harry asked the group of students whether or not they enjoy electronics, Markle chimed in once again and shared how their son, Prince Archie, likes construction as well.

Like I said before, this is not the first time the duke and duchess have updated royal fans about their two children. A few months ago, the 39-year-old royal sat down for an exclusive interview with Good Morning America and shared an extremely rare update about his kids.

When ABC News reporter Will Reeve asked about the duke’s two children, he responded, “The kids are doing great. [They are] growing up like all kids do—very, very fast.”
