Meghan Markle delighted fans on Tuesday when Netflix dropped the Duchess of Sussex's latest lifestyle show on their platform.

But despite several mentions of her two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, the duo didn't feature in any of the episodes.

Speaking to PEOPLE, an anonymous crew member revealed that the pair would often visit the set alongside their dad, and they got a little involved with the audio recording.

"Whenever Harry visited set, he was always super polite and friendly, but it was clear he wanted this to be Meghan's moment to shine," they explained. Speaking about how Meghan was with her children, they added: "She was super attentive and doting on them. We would give them headphones so they could listen to audio."

Although the children only featured in the series in a behind-the-scenes capacity, Meghan spoke about the pair numerous times, revealing that they share her love of cooking.

In the fifth episode, 'Surprise and Delight', Meghan revealed that her daughter had helped her in the preparation of some jam that she served to guests Abigail Spencer and Kelly McKee Zajfen.

"Lili and I actually made this batch together," the Duchess explained as she served up her strawberry preserve for dessert. "She picked berries with me, saying: 'No, no mama, I'll do it.' She's proud."

The former Suits star also revealed that Archie was becoming a keen angler. Meghan revealed that the youngster had managed to catch two trout during a trip, before they had "fun" salt-baking the fish.

During an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, Meghan revealed how involved Lilibet got when they baked together, sharing a selection of sweet photos.
