Meghan Markle gushed about her and husband Prince Harry’s 3-year-old daughter, Lilibet, reaching a major milestone.
“I think part of the role modeling that I certainly try to do as a mother is to encourage our daughter,” Markle, 43, said during a Sunday, August 18, panel titled Afro-Descendant Women and Power: Voice of Equity. “And at 3, she has found her voice.”
The Duchess of Sussex added that she’s “proud” of Lilibet, whom she welcomed in 2021 with Harry, 39. (Markle and Harry, who tied the knot in 2018, also share son Archie, 5.)
“That is how we create the conditions in which there is a ripple effect of young girls and young women knowing that if someone else is encouraging them to use their voice and be heard, that’s what they’re going to do,” Markle said. “They’re going to create a very different environment than so many of us grew up in, where our voices were meant to be smaller,”
