Ever since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex resigned from their Royal duties and fled to the States back in 2020, updates on the wellbeing of their two children have been few and far between.

This week, however, Meghan Markle has opened up about how the couple's youngest child, Lillibet, is 'finding her voice' in a rare and heartwarming interview.

The last four years have seen monumental changes in the running of the monarchy, after King Charles' son Prince Harry and his Suits actress wife Meghan sensationally abandoned their institutional duties in the hope of setting up a more private life for their kids.

After moving overseas, the couple have frequently attempting to distinguish themselves from the monarchy, by lifting the lid on the hardships they experienced as working Royals, specifically with respect to their dual-heritage children were treated by members of the Royal Family, primarily regarding their skin-tone.

And since then, the Sussexes have remained understandably tight-lipped on their intimate family life.

That is, until this week, when mother-of-two Meghan, 42, could be seen making a rare admission about her three-year-old daughter Lilibet's wellbeing.

In a speech made in Spanish about 'Afro women and power' delivered on the final day of her tour in Colombia, Meghan claimed the youngster 'has found her voice and we are so proud of that'.

"Because that is how we create the conditions in which there is a ripple effect of young girls and young women knowing that if someone else is encouraging them to use their voice and be heard, that's what they are going to do," she added.

Meghan also went on to pay tribute to her own mother, Doria, adding: "For me I find inspiration in so many of the strong women around me. My mother being one of them. Life is full of surprises and can be quite complex."

She went on: "So much of how I approach things is about less of the fight and how do we wash things over with love and kindness and generosity.

"You see something wrong and you go and fix it. As women we are multi-taskers and fixers. We all know how much representation matters."

In numerous bombshell interviews - as well as Harry's best-selling memoir Spare and the couple's Netflix documentary series - they have also made several accusations about the way that Meghan was treated for the fact she is American, divorced, and born to a Black mother.

After announcing her pregnancy with Lilibet back in 2021, she told US talk-show host Oprah Winfrey that members of the royal household informed her that her child with Harry, 'the first member of colour in this family,' would not be 'titled in the same way that other grandchildren would be'.

She added that her son, Archie, reportedly wouldn't be afforded the same level of security as his cousins, Prince William and Kate Middleton's children.

A royal memoir written by commentator Omid Scobie added that, in a series of private letters Markle wrote to Charles, she named the members of the household who made the problematic remarks about her children's race.

The former actress reportedly said 'unconscious bias and ignorance' were at play within the royal household, and needed to be addressed.
