MEGHAN Markle has shared a private FaceTime conversation she had with her mum – and revealed a secret code they have.

The Duchess of Sussex, 41, gave the sneak peek into her relationship with her mum Doria Ragland in the latest episode of her podcast.

The Duchess shared a Facetime call between her and mum Doria Ragland – and a secret code the pair have

Meghan explains how when she was pulling the Archetypes episode together, her mum FaceTime called her.

She then plays what she describes as the “run-of-the-mill mother-daughter conversation”.

The 41-year-old answers her phone saying “hey mummy”, to which Doria lovingly replies: “Hey, how’s my girl?”

Meghan says: “I’m okay, I’m hanging in there, it’s okay. I’m recording right now. Do you want to see?

“We’re just doing some podcasting. Can I call you back in a little bit?”

Her mum then tells her daughter she has “on a smiley face”.

Meghan replies: “I have on a smiley face? I love you.”

In the episode, a clicking noise can be heard, before Doria says: “I love you too, I’ll see you on Saturday.”

The Duchess then goes on to explain the noise.

She says: “My mum, she did this thing I do, you may have heard this clicking sound that she was doing.

“All right gang, my mum literally just pulled out a reference of what I came up with as a cool handshake to do with her when I was about eight – which was snap, scissors, cut, chicken…”

Meghan starts giggling as she recalls the secret code the duo have, and says: “I’m 41 years old.”

She adds: “It just put me right back into the past thinking about my childhood and our little quirks together.”

The podcast episode, titled ‘Good Wife/Bad Wife, Good Mom/Bad Mom’, was released today.

It features Meghan’s “dear friend” Sophie Trudeau, the wife of Canada’s PM, and touches on motherhood.

During her candid conversation with Sophie, she revealed the “crushing guilt” she feels while being a mum and a partner in the public eye.

She also opened up about how she saves money on Archie’s presents – and admitted mornings with Prince Harry and the kids are “chaotic”.

Meghan then told of how she found the UK citizenship test “so hard” and would ask Harry questions.

One of the Duchess’ previous episodes, titled Breaking Down ‘The Bimbo’ with Paris Hilton, saw her slammed by royal experts and celebrities.

Royal author Angela Levin blasted Meghan for “biting the hand that fed her” after she slammed Hollywood “bimbo” roles.

And Whoopi Goldberg then slammed her for making other women, who are just trying to make a living, “feel bad”.
