Just because Meghan Markle is no longer a senior member of the royal family doesn’t mean she didn’t learn anything from her time in London. In fact, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, just copied Prince William and Kate Middleton’s go-to parenting move.
Over the weekend, Markle made a surprise appearance at the 2024 Children’s Hospital Gala in Los Angeles. While chatting with a little girl, the duchess demonstrated the royal family’s tried-and-true parenting move.
Photographers captured a photo of Markle bending down while chatting with attendee Ella Nelson. The parenting move creates a safe and comfortable environment for the kids to talk freely because she’s making direct eye contact and speaking on the same level.
The duchess was wearing a bold red dress by Carolina Herrera, which featured a sleek silhouette and a plunging neckline. (If the dress looks familiar, that’s because she previously wore it to the Salute to Freedom Gala in November 2021.)
The parenting move is a go-to for several members of the royal family. Even her husband, Prince Harry, has used it on multiple occasions. Last month, the Duke of Sussex attended the WellChild Awards at the Royal Lancaster in London.
The royal not only looked dapper in a classic black suit with a white shirt and baby blue tie, but he also demonstrated the go-to parenting move while chatting with the children and their families. WellChild shared a series of videos on its Instagram Story, featuring Prince Harry bending down to meet the children’s eye level.
I’m totally stealing this move.
