At just three years old, Princess Lilibet has “found her voice,” and her parents, Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, could not be more thrilled.
The young princess received a rare mention on the final day of her parents’ tour in Colombia when Meghan spoke on a panel discussion titled Afro-Descendant Women and Power: Voice of Equity.

On Sunday, Meghan shared her reflections on Lilibet’s growth while conversing with Colombian Vice President Francia Márquez.
“It doesn’t feel great to suffer in silence or even just sit in silence if in those moments you want to be heard or if you have something to say,” she said.
“I understand the importance of speaking up when you have something to say.”
“I encourage our daughter to do just that — at three, she has certainly found her voice, and we are incredibly proud.”
Lilibet and her older brother, Prince Archie, 5, have largely stayed out of the public eye and did not accompany their parents on this recent tour.
During the panel, Meghan also honoured her mother.
“I draw inspiration from the strong women around me, especially my mother,” Meghan said.
“It’s less about confrontation and more about how we approach situations with love, kindness, and generosity. Those are the qualities that inspire me.”
She also praised her husband Harry, who was sitting in the crowd, for “empowering women”.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have concluded their four-day visit to Colombia, a trip organised following an invitation from Vice President Márquez after she watched their Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan.
This visit was part of Harry and Meghan’s foundation Archewell’s efforts to enhance safety across the social media landscape and protect young people from online threats.
Throughout their trip, the couple engaged with local organisations, hosted discussions, participated in an Invictus Games training session, and immersed themselves in Colombian culture across Bogotá, Cali, and Cartagena.
It comes after the couple sat down for an interview with CBS’ Sunday Morning in August to talk about children’s mental health and social media.
“Our kids are young — they’re three and five. They’re amazing,” Meghan said of Archie and Lilibet.
“But all you want to do as parents is protect them.
“So as we can see what’s happening in the online space, we know that there’s a lot of work to be done there, and we’re just happy to be able to be a part of change for good.”

Journalist Jane Pauley responded that as a parent: “You hope that when your children ask for help, someone, you know, is there to give it.”
Harry added: “If you know how to help”.
“At this point, we’ve got to the stage where every parent needs to be a first responder,” he went on.
“Even the best first responders in the world wouldn’t be able to tell the signs of possible suicide. That is the terrifying piece of this.”
