Meghan Markle and Princess Lilibet have an adorable mother-daughter relationship. The Duchess of Sussex visited a school in Nigeria's capital Abuja with her husband, Prince Harry, People magazine reported. Markle spoke to students during a student visit on May 10, recalling a sweet moment she recently shared with her youngest daughter.
"Our daughter Lily, she's much younger than you," she began. "She's almost three years old. A few weeks ago, she looked at me and just saw the reflection in my eyes. She [said], 'Mom, I see me in you.'"
The Duchess continued: "She meant what she said. But I stand by those words in a very different way. I think, yes, I do see me in you and you see me in you. When I look around this room, I see myself in all of you."
Prince Harry and Markle visited Nigeria at the invitation of Nigeria's Chief of Defense Staff. Their visit to the school was the first stop on their planned trip, which included playing classroom games with students such as "Jump Up, Turn Around."
Speaking at the school, Markle revealed that "singing and dancing" is her daughter Lilibet's "favorite class" at her school because she is "always jumping around."
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex also raised their son, Prince Archie, while being introduced to the school's oldest pupil. "He turned five last week," Markle said, noting that Archie has a keen interest in architecture.
Prince Harry's Archie and Lilibaby Update
Markle's latest comments come after husband Prince Harry gave a rare update on their two children earlier this year. The Duke was asked about life as a father during an interview with "Good Morning America" in February. "I can't tell you. It's confidential," he joked, before clarifying that Archie and Lilibet are "doing great."
"Kids, like all kids, grow up very, very quickly," he said. "They both have an incredible sense of humor that makes us laugh and keeps us grounded every day, like most kids do. I'm so grateful to be a dad."
Prince Harry and Markle welcomed their first child, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, in May 2019. The couple welcomed their daughter, Lilibet Diana, in June 2021, more than a year after stepping down as working royals in early 2020.
