Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, recently shared a touching conversation she had with her two-year-old daughter Princess Lilibet during their first overseas trip since stepping back from royal duties.
While visiting the Lightway Academy in Nigeria, Meghan spoke to a kindergarten class about her daughter’s recent milestone. She revealed that Lilibet had made a profound observation about their relationship, saying “Mama, I see myself in you.” Meghan acknowledged that her daughter’s words were meant to be taken literally, but she couldn’t help but interpret them in a deeper way.
As she looked around the classroom, Meghan told the students, “I see myself in all of you as well.” This heartfelt moment was a rare glimpse into the personal life of the Duchess and her family. Meghan and her husband Prince Harry are parents to two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, and they often keep their family life out of the public eye.
However, in recent months, the couple has shared brief updates about their children. In February, Prince Harry appeared on Good Morning America and said, “The kids are doing great. They’re growing up quickly, and they both have an amazing sense of humor.” He also expressed his gratitude for being a father and how his children keep him grounded.
Meghan’s conversation with her daughter Lilibet highlights the special bond between mothers and daughters. It’s a reminder that even in the midst of busy lives, moments of connection and understanding can be truly profound.
