Taking to the Sussex Royal Instagram account, Prince Harry, 35, and Meghan Markle, 38, penned: ‘No matter what you call your mum, this Mother’s Day in the UK, we honour the mums all over the world who do so much every single day, and now more than ever.’
They shared the touching caption alongside a blue background which featured a variation of different ways in which sons and daughters address their mums – including ‘mummy, mom, mama, granny, and nan – before simply concluding: ‘Thank you.’
Californian-born Meghan Markle, who will celebrate Mother’s Day in the US on May 10, became a mum to Archie, now 10 months, on May 6, when he was born at 5.26am weighing 7lbs 3oz.

Their post comes hours after Prince William and Kate Middleton shared a more personal message, alongside treasured photos and a card Prince George made for Kate.
Taking to the Kensington Palace Royal Instagram account, the Duke, 37, and Duchess of Cambridge, 38, penned: ‘To mothers new and old and families spending today together and apart – we are thinking of you all at this difficult time. Happy Mother’s Day.’
Their images included a previously unseen snap of the duke and duchess giving George, six, and Princess Charlotte, four, a piggyback, one of William and brother Prince Harry as youngsters with their late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales.
Elsewhere, another photo showed Kate as a baby in the arms of her mother, Carole Middleton.
