Meghan Markle Says Princess Lilibet Has “Found Her Voice”
At an Aug. 18 event, the Duchess of Sussex talked about how she’s raising her two children.
Meghan Markle shared rare details about her daughter, Princess Lilibet, over the weekend. According to People, the Duchess of Sussex attended an Afro Women and Power event in Colombia, where she spoke about encouraging her daughter to “utilize” her voice.
“I find inspiration in the strong women around me, of course my mother being one of them,” she said. “So much of how I approach things is less about the fight, and more about how do we show up in a space and wash things over with love and kindness and generosity.”
She said she understands the frustrations that come from not speaking up, especially “when you need to be heard or have something to say,” and she added, “I encourage our daughter to do so — who at 3 has absolutely found her voice, and we are so proud of that.”
Speaking at the event, which was attended by Colombia’s vice president, Francia Marquez, the duchess added that respecting women is a core value of Archewell Foundation, which she and Prince Harry launched in 2020.
“The work we do with Archewell and the work we do as parents and me as a mother is ensuring that young girls feels that their voices are heard and young boys are raised to learn how to listen to girls as well,” she said.
More Archie And Lilibet Updates
This isn’t the first time in recent months that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have spoken about their two children, Prince Archie and Lilibet. In February, Prince Harry opened up about fatherhood during an interview with Good Morning America, revealing that the kids were “doing great.”
“The kids are growing up like all kids do, very, very fast,” he said. “They’ve both got an incredible sense of humor and make us laugh and keep us grounded every single day, like most kids do. I’m just grateful to be a dad.”
Markle gave another Lilibet update in May while visiting a school in Abuja, Nigeria. “Our daughter, Lili, she’s much, much tinier than you guys,” she told a group of students. “She’s about to turn 3. And a few weeks ago, she looked at me, and she would just see the reflection in my eyes. And she [goes], ‘Mama, I see me in you.’”
