The Duchess of Sussex shared a heartwarming parenting anecdote with schoolchildren during a visit to Nigeria.

Meghan Markle opened up about a sweet moment she shared with her daughter, Princess Lilibet, during a visit with schoolchildren in Nigeria on Friday.

The Duchess of Sussex is in the country with Prince Harry ― both for the very first time ― for a three-day trip.

The royals’ first stop was the capital city of Abuja, where they met with kids at the Lightway Academy. The school was holding a mental health summit, in partnership with the GEANCO Foundation, when Meghan talked about a heartwarming parenting moment she shared with her youngest child.

“We all have our story. And there’s no shame in any single one of your stories,” the former “Suits” actor said, after the Duke of Sussex spoke about the importance of mental health. “Even on the hardest days or darkest days, everything is a pillar of your strength by each of you being there.”

“Your teachers see that in you,” the duchess said. “And we see that in you. And interestingly, so is our daughter, Lili. She’s much, much tinier than you guys,” she added.

“She’s about to turn 3. And a few weeks ago she looked at me and she would just see the reflection in my eyes. And she [said], ‘Mama, I see me in you,’” Meghan recalled, adding that her daughter was speaking “literally.”

“But I hung on to those words in a very different way,” said the American Riviera Orchard founder. “And I thought, ‘Yes, I do see me and you, and you see me and you.’ But as I look around this room, I see myself in all of you as well.”

During the Sussexes’ school visit, they also spoke about their son, Prince Archie, who turned 5 years old Monday. Meghan said that their eldest is interested in construction, while Lili is interested in her singing and dancing class.
