She candidly talked about her during a panel discussion

While I’ve been so focused on Meghan Markle’s Colombia tour fashion looks and pics that showcase the steamy PDA moments she shared with her husband, Prince Harry, 39, I almost missed the sweet update the proud mother of two, 43, gave about her 3-year-old daughter, Princess Lilibet

On the final day of their Colombia tour, the Duchess of Sussex participated in an “Afro Woman and Power” panel. And according to People, Markle discussed how she’s teaching her daughter to speak up for herself, which is something she thanks her own mom, Doria Ragland, for showing her how to do it at such a young age. 

“I find inspiration in so many of the strong women that are around me, of course, my mother being one of them,” Markle said while she was on stage. “So much of how I approach things is through the lens of less about the fight—that’s not interesting to me—and more about how do we show up in a space and wash things over with love and kindness and generosity.”

This new update about Princess Lilibet comes a few days after Markle openly spoke about her 5-year-old son, Archie. While visiting the Colegio La Giralda school in Santa Fe, the duchess mentioned the young prince while she engaged with a class full of kindergarten students. As she greeted the students, Markle asked them their names in Spanish. And when she met a kindergartener who shared something in common with her little boy, she said, “You’re the same age as my son Archie.”

I never get tired of hearing the duke and duchess talk about their two kids.
