We always knew that Duchess Meghan wouldnโ€™t be your traditional royal mum, but just a few weeks after welcoming baby Archie, we have a bit more insight into what her parenting style will be.

Speaking to broadcaster and another friend of Meghanโ€™s, Gayle King, Daniel Martin (who also did the Duchess of Sussexโ€™s make up for her wedding day) revealed that sheโ€™s going to be more hands-on than we realised โ€“ by making her own baby food.

โ€œIโ€™m sure the babyโ€™s gonna be raised like, definitely clean and green,โ€ Daniel told CBSโ€™s Gayle King. โ€œClean and green for the baby. She loves to cook. Eating organic whenever she can.โ€

When asked if the new royal mum will make her own baby food, he responded, โ€œOh, I totally see her making her own baby food.โ€

โ€œOh yeah, totally,โ€ he added when Gayle remarked that she was joking.

When it comes to cooking up baby food in the Frogmore kitchens, thereโ€™s one kitchen appliance that is bound to come in handy.

Speaking to The Vow, Patrick J Adams who played Meghanโ€™s love interest on Suits said that choosing a wedding gift for the royal couple came down to two items.

โ€œWe were trying to choose between like a blender or bread makerโ€ฆYou know something classy, like a good blender.

โ€œWhether Iโ€™m there or not, the Vitamix is going to the wedding.โ€

Indeed the former actress told Today, โ€œIf I blend some apple, kale, spinach, lemon, and ginger in my Vitamix in the morning and bring it to work, I always find that sipping on that is a much better boost than a cup of espresso.โ€

Meghan has always loved blending things up in her Vitamix.

This isnโ€™t the first time Daniel has shared some into Meghan and her cooking prowess.

Back when she was pregnant, the make-up artist flew over to London for a catch-up with his royal friend and shared a flat-lay image of a hearty avocado smash, chocolates and tea.

โ€œBack to our Tig daysโ€ฆโค๏ธ Thank you Meghan for being the consummate hostess this weekend and still being the #avocadotoast whisperer, YUM! ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ ๐Ÿฅ‘๐Ÿžโ˜•๏ธ #foodie #foodiegram,โ€ Daniel captioned his snap, alluding to her former lifestyle blog The Tig.

Daniel and Meghan have been close friends since they hit it off in 2011 at the NYC up fronts for Suits.

โ€œWe just totally clicked and got along. So seven years later weโ€™re still great friends,โ€ he explained to 20/20 of their friendship in 2018.

The Daily Mail previously reported that since Duchess Meghan is so passionate about food and cooking, a small vegetable plot was added in the garden when they moved into Frogmore Cottage.

โ€œShe regularly cooks for Prince Harry and the cottage will be the perfect place for her to prepare meals with some home grown produce from their own garden,โ€ a royal source told the publication.

โ€œIt is understood that she wants to be able grow vegetables, herbs and soft fruits.โ€

Growing your own and eating locally isnโ€™t a recent obsession of Meghanโ€™s either. In fact, she talked about it in interviews well before she became a royal.

โ€œGrowing up in southern Californiaโ€ฆ I loved gardening and growing my own vegetables. That farm-to-table ethos was ingrained at such a young age.โ€
