'Like any parents, we were overjoyed. Like many parents, we were overwhelmed.'
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed their daughter earlier this year in June, but have remained relatively quiet about her birth since then. Although, on a recent trip to New York, Meghan gave Royal fans a welcome update on Lili, calling her 'beautiful'.
In an open letter to House of Representatives speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate majority leader Charles Schumer, the 40-year-old said she was writing 'on behalf of millions of Americans' to request that the government puts in place a national policy on paid leave. Currently, the US government does not guarantee paid sick leave, or maternity/paternity pay, and this is left up to individual companies to decide.
Meghan pointed out how parental leave meant she and Harry didn't 'have to make impossible choices about childcare, work, and medical care' which is something so many parents across the country cannot avoid. 'No family should be faced with these decisions,' she added. 'No family should have to choose between earning a living and having the freedom to take care of their child.
