Meghan Markle stayed silent on Instagram yesterday as she avoided publicly marking Mother's Day in the US. The Duchess of Sussex, who usually marks special occasions on her private Instagram account, was radio silent on Sunday as thousands celebrated the special day.

While it is believed Meghan would have marked Mother's Day privately with her children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, it was surprising that the 44-year-old duchess did not post. This is especially the case as this time last yearshe did publicly mark Mother's Day with a photograph of her carrying both her children.

This photograph was taken at the family's Montecito mansion, with a sweet caption accompanying the snap.

The caption read: "Happy Mother's Day! Cheers to juggling it all with joy!

"And to these two gems - who still attempt to climb "mama mountain", smother me with kisses, and make every day the most memorable adventure....being your mom is the greatest privilege of my life.

"I, too, 'love you more than all the stars in all the sky, all the raindrops, and all the salt on all the french fries in all the world'."

Meghan's last post on her private Instagram was just last week when she marked her son Prince Archie's seventh birthday.

The duchess shared two new photographs of her son to mark his special day, including one of when he was a newborn laying on Prince Harry's chest, and another of Archie walking across sand with Lilibet.

The duchess wrote: "7 years later...happy birthday to our sweet boy."

As well as spending yesterday with her husband Prince Harry and their children, it is believed Meghan would have also seen her mum Doria, who she shares a close bond with.
