Meghan, Duchess of Sussex has revealed that she's loved the challenge of motherhood.
The 42-year-old duchess — who has Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, two, with Prince Harry — has recalled speaking to her mentor, NBCUniversal vice-chairperson Bonnie Hammer, about the challenge of balancing her career with the demands of motherhood.
The former Suits actress told a panel discussion in Nigeria: "I remember having the good fortune at the time that she invited me to have breakfast, and I thought this was just the biggest deal in the world.
"And I asked her that exact question. I said, 'How do you find the balance?' And she said, 'You don't, you’ll never find the balance'. And this was before I was married; this was before I had children; this is before all the things in my life have certainly had a plot twist.
"And it struck me and it stayed with me for a long time because you say, ‘well how can you be so successful? And she's a mother as well and she's married and say that you'll never find the balance? What does life feel like if it's imbalanced?'"
The duchess — who quit acting before she married Harry in 2018 — now recognises that the landscape was always changing for moms.
She explained: "What I think that means now is that that balance will always change for you.
"That balance — what seems balanced 10 years ago — is going to shift. And so being a mom has always been a dream of mine. And I'm so fortunate that we have two beautiful, healthy, very chatty, sweet children.
"I love being a mom, I love being a mom."
