Duchess of Sussex speaks on motherhood, empowerment, and raising strong children at TIME100 Summit
Meghan Markle offered a heartfelt reflection on motherhood during her keynote address at the TIME100 Summit in New York City, opening up about the values she hopes to instill in her daughter, Princess Lilibet.
Speaking candidly, the Duchess of Sussex expressed her commitment to raising Lilibet to be “a confident and strong young woman,” grounded in both strength and compassion. She also shared her hopes for her son, Prince Archie, emphasising the importance of nurturing a sense of self-worth that uplifts and respects the women around him.
Meghan, 43, underlined how her own personal well-being plays a key role in being a positive role model. “The example we set shapes the way they see the world,” she noted, highlighting how her approach to life influences her children’s development.
Appearing at the event alongside Prince Harry, the couple continues to prioritise a grounded and private upbringing for their children — even amid ongoing global attention.
Princess Lilibet, named after Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana, remains a symbol of the couple’s aspirations for a compassionate and empowered future generation.
