Duchess Meghan opens up about motherhood and her status as a royal
Duchess Meghan has opened up about what life is like as a new mother as well as how she hopes to set an example for her son Archie while on her Royal Tour of Africa.
The Duchess sat down with a group of female founders of tech companies at the “Ladies who Launch” event for a private chat.
The leaders couldn’t resist asking the Duchess about her son, and she was surprisingly candid in her response.
"She talked about being a mother and having duties as a duchess and fulfilling what her heart desires—and that it can't just fade away now that [she's] a duchess," Matsi Modise told People of her conversation with the royal.

“She talked about being a mother and having duties as a duchess and fulfilling what her heart desires — and that it can’t just fade away now that you’re a duchess,” says Modise. “That you have to be true to who you are.”
Modise also said that she was feeling a “bit nervous” at talking with the Duchess, but the royal made it easy for her.
“I was awestruck, a bit nervous,” says Modise. “But she radiates grace and she is taking this task that she has with such grace. A lot of us have done amazing things as founders, but meeting a royal is quite daunting. She made it easy. She is an easy-going royal!”
