During the same interview, Meghan spoke about Lili’s first Halloween, which was spent with DeGeneres.
“We wanted to do something fun for the kids, and then the kids were just not into it at all,” Meghan revealed, adding that Archie had a dinosaur costume but only wore the outfit for “about five minutes.”
“Not even five minutes,” DeGeneres chimed in. “Finally Harry talked him into putting the head on.”
Meanwhile, Lili was dressed up as a skunk, “like Flower fromBambi,” Meghan said.
