Meghan Markle enlists Archie and Lilibet to help her in the kitchen as she bakes cookies for Drew Barrymore

Meghan Markle enlisted her kids Archie and Lilibet to help in the kitchen as she baked hundreds of cookies for guests attending the Drew Barrymore Show.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, made an appearance on the talk show earlier this week, which aired on Thursday, and during the segment, she revealed that she made treats for the entire cast and crew, as well as all the lucky people who snagged tickets to the show.

A clip of her working on the desserts then flashed across the screen, and it showed her and Prince Harry‘s two young children lending a hand.

After sitting down for an interview, Meghan and Drew, 50, teamed up to make their own batch of the cookies.

The former royal instructed the talk show host to mix together a stick of butter, some powdered sugar, and granulated sugar.

But after examining Drew’s dough, she admitted that it was a little too ‘crumbly.’

‘But the good news is we don’t have to make tons because I made a lot for you on Sunday,’ Meghan then shared as the excited crowd erupted into cheers.

‘When I realized we were going to do this, I said, “How many people are we making cookies for?”

‘And they said, “Count on the audience.” And I wanted the crew to be able to have some.’

Meghan explained that she invited some of her friends over to come and help, including designer Clare Waight Keller who had made her wedding dress.

‘Clare had come in from the UK to have lunch. I said, “Clare, can I put you to work too?”

‘So we all sat around. We made these cookies for you guys to enjoy. And I just thought it’d be fun.’

They then played a video that showed the ladies making the cookies and at one point, a little girl believed to be Lilibet, three, was seen standing on a step stool next to the counter.

It only showed her from behind and didn’t show the youngsters face, but she donned some lavender pants, a white T-shirt, and sneakers.

She kept her hair in a bun and wore a polka dot headband; the youngster watched on as the women prepared the yummy treats.

Later on, some little hands were also seen grabbing some of the finished cookies from the boxes.

Then, at the way end of the clip, a young boy believed to be Archie, five, whose face wasn’t shown, was seen standing and eating a cookie as Meghan leaned in and gave him a kiss on the head.

Meghan literally made cookies for all of you guys,’ Drew told the audience as the video concluded.

‘Each one of you are going to get to try this cookie. We’ve never had someone come here and do that.’

‘My husband helped as well,’ Meghan added, although he was not seen in the footage.

Elsewhere during the appearance, Meghan seemed caught off guard when Drew surprised her with a photo of her and Princess Diana.

The ET actress told Meghan that meeting Harry’s mother had been the honor of her life. 

Drew was seven at the time, had just starred in the movie ET and gave Meghan’s late mother-in-law a stuffed toy. 

‘It means so much to me to have met such an incredible human being that transcended everything. It was the honor of my life’, Drew gushed emotionally. 

Meghan appeared slightly thrown as she looked at the black and white image, laughed shyly and replied: ‘Oh, my gosh, look at your little face.

‘Oh, that’s so sweet. That’s really special. I will tell H [Harry] that, for sure.’

The Duchess of Sussex is promoting her new Netflix show With Love, Meghan and her brand As Ever – but has been battling a slew of poor reviews.

Drew also notably called her ‘Meghan Sussex’ throughout the interview, after the former Suits star had told Mindy Kaling that Sussex was her surname, not Markle, during an awkward moment on her new Netflix lifestyle series released on Tuesday.

A body language expert told DailyMail.com following the appearance that Meghan seemed ’emotionally distant’ to ‘relentlessly clingy’ Drew. 

UK-based body language expert Judi James noted of their hug: ‘This is a rare pose from Meghan who is normally the first one to move in with the hugs to register the warm, spontaneously tactile side that was apparently met with a tsunami of ice water from the royal firm back in the UK. 

Meghan appeared slightly thrown as she looked at the black and white image, laughed shyly and replied: ‘Oh, my gosh, look at your little face’

‘She has clearly met her match in Drew, whose tactile behaviors on her chat show are a signature part of the brand. 

‘But it seems from this pose that what you get when you put two famously hugging women together is that one will bow out, namely Meghan in this case. 

‘Meghan adopts a straight, polite, more regal-looking pose here, perhaps mirroring the kind of response she met with from the UK royals when she was busy hugging them. 

‘Her hand is hanging in her pocket rather than reciprocating the display of affection and she’s flashing a wide social smile at the camera rather than tilting her head in a reciprocal gesture.

‘Drew clings relentlessly though, curling her arms around Meghan’s waist in a partial koala embrace and tilting her head to nestle against Meghan’s locks.

‘Her rounded cheek, pursed lip smile signals a sense of warm friendship and affection while Meghan looks rather more distanced emotionally and keener to communicate with the camera than with her host here.’
