Meghan Markle got more out of her and Prince Harry’s recent three-day trip to Nigeria than a whirlwind press tour and personal connection with people

who have been positively impacted by the couple’s work through charity and the Invictus Games.

She also gained a greater understanding of her own history, which she will share with her own children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, told People in an interview during the trip that the visit “had so much personal meaning to me.”

Meghan discovered through genealogy tests that she is 43 percent Nigerian by blood, and on Mother’s Day, she reflected on the new connection with “my heritage,

that I’m able to share with my children. That’s such a special thing as a mother to know you can do.”

Archie recently turned five years old, and Lilibet will soon celebrate her third birthday.

Meghan told People that she was thrilled “to be surrounded by so many incredible mothers in this country and the women that I’ve met.”

“All the work I’ve done on women’s and girls’ rights, as a mom, I really feel that here, and how we were able to expand on that,” she said. “It was great.”

Though the couple’s children weren’t on the trip with them physically, they were never far from Meghan’s mind. On the first day of the Sussexes’s trip, while speaking to a girls’ school that their charity, the Archewell Foundation, has helped support, Meghan told a story about Lili.

“A few weeks ago she looked at me, and she would just see the reflection in my eyes. And she [said], ‘Mama, I see me in you.’ Oh, now she was talking really, literally. But I hung onto those words in a very different way. And I thought, yes, I do see me and you, and you see me and you, but as I look around this room, I see myself in all of you as well.”

Meghan also honored Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana, by wearing a cross necklace that once belonged to the Princess of Wales.

Speaking to People about the school visit, she said, “I always reflect back on myself as a young girl and the type of inspiration that I wanted to see in other women. I hope in some small way I can be a part of that for a lot of these young girls especially. I see the potential in all of these young girls—and, by the way, in these young boys as well.”
