Meghan Markle gushes about her daughter, three, in speech about ‘Afro women and power’ during Colombian tour with Prince Harry, admitting ‘Lilibet has found her voice and we are so proud’
Meghan Markle has gushed about her daughter, three, in a speech about ‘Afro women and power’ talk on the final day of her tour in Colombia with Prince Harry.
She said that Lilibet ‘has found her voice and we are so proud of that’ in the speech the Duchess also used to pay tribute to her mother.
Meghan said: ‘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.
‘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.’
The Duchess also said that she encourages Lilibet to not ‘suffer in silence or even sit in silence if in those moments you want to be heard’.
Meghan opened her intervention at the debate speaking in Spanish and calling Ms Marquesa ‘my friend’ before going on to pay tribute to Harry as she carried on in English.
To a huge cheer she said:’ I would like to begin in Spanish because we are in your country, my husband and I, and I can feel this embrace from Colombia.
It’s incredible, so many, many thanks, because the culture, the history, everything has been like a dream on this trip.
‘Sorry if my Spanish is not perfect because I learned it 20 years ago in Argentina, but I’m trying here because I can feel this community and this feeling which is the best in the world.’
She added: ‘So thank you very much to the vice president, my friend, many thanks.’
A Colombian journalist said:’ For Meghan to say my friend in that way is such a powerful statement and shows just how close they have become. People will take note of that.’
Meghan then continued in English to retell her childhood story about writing to Procter & Gamble. ‘I was very, very fortunate at a young age to feel as though my voice was being heard,’ she said.
‘I was 11-years-old, and you may know this story, I had seen a commercial that I felt was sexist, and I wrote a letter, several letters, about it, and the commercial was changed when you’re 11-years-old, and you realise very quickly that your small voice can have a very large impact.
‘I think it creates the framework to feel empowered to use your voice, because you know you’re being listened to.’
The Duchess often uses the childhood story in her speeches and interviews, despite some questions being raised about its validity in recent years.
The account was stripped out of a Vanity Fair cover story in 2017 after ‘fact checkers raised questions about its accuracy,’ a biography said.
The anecdote was cut from the cover story ‘after consulting P&G and advertising historians,’ according to Tom Bower’s book Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors.

Congratulations to Zendaya and Tom Holland as Zendaya announced that she’s pregnant through the scan result she posted as she reveals the baby’s gender. The two announced they would be holding a …. see more
Zendaya has appeared to debunk pregnancy rumors which went viral on social media.
The “Spider-Man: No Way Home” actor posted an Instagram Story on June 15, which said, “See now, this is why I stay off Twitter… Just making stuff up for no reason… weekly.”
It followed rumors that Zendaya was pregnant spreading on Twitter, where a TikTok falsely claiming she’d announced a pregnancy began to circulate. Users appeared to believe the hoax, despite it originally being posted as part of a viral TikTok prank called the “Krissed” trend, where people make false claims about celebrities to bait people into watching a clip of Kris Jenner dancing to “Lady Marmalade.”
On June 13, a user called Ryan Roberts posted a TikTok showing a picture of an ultrasound that looked like a screenshot from Instagram, with Zendaya’s Instagram handle above it.
On Zendaya’s Instagram profile, there is no picture that matches the screenshot in the TikTok.
The 12-second video then cut to a 2011 clip of Kris Jenner dancing and lipsyncing to the “Moulin Rouge” song, with an on-screen caption reading, “You just got Krissed.”
The word “krissed” was used as a synonym for pranked in the video caption, which went on to say, “Send this to your friends to absolutely #kris them.”
Similar videos have gone viral over the past week, and 11,000 TikToks have been posted on the platform with the hashtag “#krissed,” as part of the prank.
Commenters under the original TikTok largely recognized that the pregnancy claims weren’t true, with top comments saying, “I didn’t fall for this one,” and “Nope I was actually prepared this time.”
The TikTok user who posted the video did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment.
On Twitter, users appeared to believe the pregnancy was real
Shortly after the TikTok was posted, a rumor that Zendaya was pregnant began to spread on Twitter.
The topic “Zendaya pregnant,” was trending on the platform on June 15, with some people suggesting they were shocked or sad to hear the news, and top liked tweets under the hashtag, “#ZendayaPregnant” have hundreds of thousands of likes each on the platform.
Some users recognized that the rumors originated from the “Krissed” trend and were part of a prank, urging users not to believe the claims.
Zendaya’s personal life has frequently been the topic of speculation on social media
Zendaya and her boyfriend Tom Holland have tried to keep their relationship out of the public eye as much as possible. However, last year, Holland told People that he wanted to “take a break and focus on starting a family.”
He added: “I love kids. I can’t wait to be a dad — I can wait and I will, but I can’t wait!”
In February, Holland also shut down reports that he had purchased a home in London, England with Zendaya.
The two Marvel stars were first linked after starring in the “Spider-Man” Marvel Cinematic Universe trilogy together. Last year, dating rumors surfaced after they were photographed kissing in a car.
Holland later told GQ that he and Zendaya felt “robbed” of their privacy by the photograph.
“One of the downsides of our fame is that privacy isn’t really in our control anymore, and a moment that you think is between two people that love each other very much is now a moment that is shared with the entire world,” Holland said.
Representatives for Zendaya did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment

In a heartbreaking turn of events, the NFL announced the urgent cancellation of Monday night’s Kansas City Chiefs vs. Los Angeles Chargers game following the tragic passing of a prominent Chiefs player earlier today.
The news broke just an hour before kickoff, sending shockwaves through the sports world and leaving fans, players, and coaches in disbelief.

Fans who had gathered at Arrowhead Stadium were informed of the cancellation via the stadium’s public address system, followed by a moment of silence to honor the late player. Emotional scenes unfolded as fans expressed their condolences, many leaving flowers and messages outside the stadium.
