What did Lilibet say to Meghan Markle?
Princess Lilibet, almost 3 years old, i the youngest child of the Duke and the Duchess of Sussex. Meghan told the classroom, “Our daughter, Lili, she's much, much tinier than you guys. She's about to turn three. And a few weeks ago she looked at me and she would just see the reflection in my eyes. And she (goes), ‘Mama, I see me in you.’ “
Meghan then explained to the class that even though her daughter had meant it literally as she saw her reflection in her mother’s eyes, she hung onto the words of her daughter. "nd I thought, yes, I do see me in you, and you see me in you," she said. After that, she told the students, "As I look around this room, I see myself in all of you as well."
Later, the couple played some fun games with the kids in the class and shared some more fun experiences they had with their own children back home. Meghan told them that Lilibet’s favorite class was singing and dancing, which is probably due to all the jumping she gets to do. She also shared that Prince Archie, who is 5 years old, loves construction while the kids in a STEM class showed them their robotics projects. When introduced to the oldest child in the class, who is also 5, Meghan shared that her son Archie is also the same age and he just turned 5 last week.
