LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Meghan Markle marked International Day of the Girl with a heartfelt message to her 4-year-old daughter, Princess Lilibet, alongside never-before-seen visuals shared on Instagram.

The Duchess of Sussex, 44, took to social media on Saturday, October 12, to post a touching tribute celebrating girls worldwide and encouraging them to use their voices and stand up for their rights.

“To all the girls — this world is yours,” Markle wrote. “Do everything you can to protect your rights, use your voice, support each other. We will do the same for you. It’s your right and our responsibility.” She signed off with, “Go get ‘em girl! 🏃‍♀️ Happy International Day of the Girl.”

The couple, who also share 6-year-old son Prince Archie, have largely kept their children out of the public eye, making the post a rare personal glimpse into their family life.
