Meghan Markle gushed about her two “chatty, sweet” children, Princess Lilibet and Prince Archie, during her vacation to Nigeria.
The Duchess of Sussex, 42, opened out about motherhood during a panel discussion about women in leadership on Saturday, May 11, according to People. Meghan Markle also discussed how she manages raising children and maintaining her profession.
Meghan Markle, who has two children, Archie, five, and Lilibet, four, with husband Prince Harry, described a chat she had with her mentor, Bonnie Hammer, vice chairperson of NBCUniversal, while still acting on the rising US drama Suits.
“She invited me to have breakfast, and I thought this was just the biggest deal in the world,” stated Meghan Markle. “I asked her that exact question. I said, ‘How do you find the balance?’ And she said, ‘You won’t find the balance if you don’t.
She said, “And this was before I was married. This happened before I had children. “This is before everything in my life has had a plot twist,” she says, referring to her marriage to Harry.
“I believe the balance will always change for you…” Markle predicted that what appeared to be balanced ten years ago will shift. “And thus becoming a mother has always been a dream of mine. And I consider myself quite blessed to have two lovely, healthy, talkative, and affectionate children.” She went on to say, “I love being a mom.”
On Friday, May 10, Harry, 39, and Meghan began their first official tour to Nigeria by visiting a school in Abuja, the country’s capital. Meghan Markle told a group of kids at Lightway Academy about an emotional chat she had with her daughter.
“Our daughter, Lili, is much, much smaller than you guys. “She’s about to turn three,” she explained. “A few weeks ago, she would stare at me and only see the reflection in my eyes. And she says, ‘Mama, I see me in you.'”

Meghan Markle explained that while Lilibet was speaking “really literally,” she “hung onto those words in a very different way.” She told the pupils, “Yes, I see myself in you, and you see yourselves in me. As I look around this room, I see myself in everyone of you as well.
Harry and Meghan Markle three-day journey to the African country coincides with the tenth anniversary of the Invictus Games, which Harry co-founded to honor wounded military veterans. On their second day in Nigeria, the pair went to a volleyball game presented by Nigeria: Unconquered, a charity associated with the Invictus Games.
