Meghan Markle shared an update on her daughter, Princess Lilibet, during the final day of the Sussexes' tour of Colombia.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have two children together, Archie, five and Lilibet, three.


Meghan, speaking on a panel at an Afro Women and Power event in Colombia, shared that her daughter has "found her voice".

She said: "So I think part of the role-modelling that I certainly try to do as a mother is to encourage our daughter, who at three, has found her voice."

Meghan continued: "We’re so proud of that, because that is how we, as I was saying, create the conditions in which there’s a ripple effect of young girls and young women knowing that someone else is encouraging them to use their voice and be heard."

The Duchess of Sussex said her role as a mother was to make sure young girls feel their voices are being heard and "also that young boys are being raised to listen".

She added: "The same goes for adult women and men – this isn’t something that can be solely responsible and in the hands of just women.

Meghan also paid tribute to Prince Harry during the event.

She said: "Yes, we work incredibly well together as a team, but as my husband is great testament to, the role of men in this, of empowering women, of allowing them to know that their voices are heard, starting at a young age all the way through adulthood, is key."

During the first day of the couple's tour of Colombia, Meghan Markle opened up on how she and Prince Harry are raising Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Meghan and Harry did not their children along on their four-day tour of Colombia despite reports they were considering it.

However, Meghan discussed how she models raising her children during the first day of her and Harry's tour of Colombia.

The Duchess of Sussex said: "We should model how we want our kids to be raised and for the world in which we raise them."

She added: "It doesn’t matter where you live. It doesn’t matter who you are.

"Either you personally or someone you know is a victim to what’s happening online.

"And that’s something we can actively work on every day to remedy."
