During their first trip abroad after stepping down from royal duties, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, shared a touching moment with her daughter, Princess Lilibet.
Motherhood comes with its challenges, as Meghan Markle is learning.
During a three-day visit to Nigeria on May 10, the Duchess of Sussex spoke about a heartwarming exchange she had with her 2-year-old daughter, Princess Lilibet. Meghan and Prince Harry were interacting with students at the Lightway Academy when she recounted this experience.
Addressing a kindergarten class, Meghan said, "Our daughter, Lili, is much smaller than all of you," according to People. "She’s nearing her third birthday. A few weeks ago, she looked at me and all she could see was her reflection in my eyes. She said, ‘Mama, I see myself in you.’"
Meghan, 42, reflected on this literal statement but felt it held a deeper meaning. "Yes, I do see myself in you, and you see me in you," she thought.
She told the students, "As I look around this room, I see myself in all of you as well," sitting next to Harry in the classroom.
The couple, who also have a five-year-old son, Prince Archie, joined in singing, dancing, and games with the children during their visit. Meghan commented, "That’s Lili’s favorite class," as noted by the publication. "It might be because of all the hopping around."
While Meghan and Harry usually keep their personal lives private, they occasionally share glimpses of their family.
In February, the Duke of Sussex mentioned on Good Morning America, "The kids are doing great." He added that like all children, they are growing up quickly.
"They both have an amazing sense of humor and make us laugh and keep us grounded every single day like most kids do," the 39-year-old said. "I’m just really appreciative to be a father."
