On Saturday, Meghan Markle welcomed Prince Harry back home to Montecito, California, following his trip to Ukraine. Harry was also reunited with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, and Meghan shared the special gift he brought home from his travels in her Instagram Stories.
In the clips, the Duchess of Sussex offered a look at their morning breakfast routine, which included fluffy pancakes, fried eggs, cut fruit, sizzling bacon, and their hopeful Labrador Pula watching it all.
There was then a clip of them sharing a slice of cake Harry brought home after meeting with members of the orthopedic clinic Superhumans Center in Lviv. The kids eagerly tore up the cake, and in one corner, a traditional pysanky egg can be seen.
The center is known for their efforts to rehabilitate injured military members and civilians and the Prince was reportedly invited by the organization’s CEO, Olga Rudneva. He toured the facilities and met with both patients and the surgical team.
In photos shared by Meghan, the cake’s origin was revealed. It was evidently made by traditional bakers before being passed to Harry in a gift basket. Over the image, Meghan wrote, “Made with love.”
Over a photo of Harry receiving the special package, she wrote, “A gift for our family.”
In her Stories, Megan also shared some tweets from Yulia Svyrydenko, First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy of Ukraine. In a translation of her tweet, Svyrydenko said, “The whole team is just crying, because a pastry made by grandmothers from Sumy region made from flour from de-mined fields is now on the table of Meghan Markle, Prince Harry and their family.”
In a follow-up tweet, the government official explained that the fields used to grow the wheat have had mines removed, making it a very symbolic gesture towards spring and renewal.
“A remarkable group of women who live in the border region of Sumy, an area affected by landmines, have prepared this Easter bread for you and your family,” she wrote. “Today, they, along with all of us, are deeply moved, knowing that this symbolic offering—Easter bread, made from flour harvested from demined fields—will be on your table.”
