The couple’s evening routine also includes what Meghan calls their “nightcap recaps,” where the couple unwind with a drink and a debrief of their day. Those conversations often happen as they engage in another familiar parenting task: packing Archie and Lili’s lunches for the next day.

“I think all parents in this phase with kids the same age know it’s rinse and repeat,” Meghan says of their routine.

It’s a world away from where Meghan was when she firststarted dating Harry in 2016. Yet she shares with PEOPLE that in this new phase of their family, she and her husband are finding their perfect balance.

“I imagine that it’s the same as it would be for any couple,” she notes. “You have your individual jobs, but then you have things that you share together.”

Meghan is also becoming involved with the Montecito community and adjusting to her new normal since the family moved to California five years ago.

“I have a couple of girlfriends up here; these are stay-at-home moms and working women with normal jobs, not in the public eye,” she explains. “We went from just connecting through our kids to having girls’ night out or doing Pilates together.”

In turn, Meghan says, the community in Montecito has similarly embraced the family.

“Once you know us, I think you want us to have the same normalcy as parents and for our children as they do, despite however unique our situation is,” she reflects.
