Prince Harry, 40, has previously revealed the appliance was a gift from his grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, to his son Archie when he was a toddler. 

"My grandmother asked us what Archie wanted for Christmas, and Meg said a waffle maker. She sent us a waffle maker for Archie," the Duke of Sussex said during an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden.

"So breakfast now, Meg makes up a beautiful organic mix in the waffle maker."

The royal went on to explain that her children have also begun to take an interest in her personal hobbies.

"I love flower arranging. It's not something I grew up doing, but arranging flowers is one of those simple pleasures that I can get lost in," she began.

"My kids have jumped in to help me make arrangements, too, which makes it all the sweeter."
