Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, and her daughter Princess Lilibet had a tender conversation during their first trip abroad following their resignation from royal duties. Motherhood has a darker side, as Meghan Markle is discovering.
During her and Prince Harry’s three-day tour in Nigeria on May 10, the Duchess of Sussex couldn’t resist sharing a sweet conversation she had with their 2-year-old daughter Princess Lilibet while visiting with pupils at the Lightway Academy.
Meghan said to a kindergarten class, “Our daughter, Lili, she’s much, much tinier than you guys,” according to People. She will turn three soon. And a few of weeks prior, all she would see when she looked at me was my eye’s reflection. She then says, “Mama, I see myself in you.”
Now that she was speaking so literally, the 42-year-old acknowledged. But my interpretation of those words was quite different. “Yes, I do see myself in you, and you see me in you,” I thought to myself. She spoke to the pupils, “As I look around this room, I see myself in all of you as well,” while seated next to Harry in the classroom.
The pair, who also happen to be the parents of five-year-old Prince Archie, engaged in singing and dance lessons with the children and played games with them throughout their visit. Meghan said, “That’s Lili’s favorite class,” according to the publication. “Perhaps it’s all the hopping around,” Although Meghan and Harry would rather keep their personal life out of the public eye, they frequently give brief peeks into their family of four.
In February, the Duke of Sussex said on Good Morning America, “The kids are doing great.” The children are maturing like all children do—quite quickly. The 39-year-old went on, “They both have an amazing sense of humor and make us laugh and keep us grounded every single day like most kids do.” “I’m just really appreciative to be a father.”
