The Duchess of Sussex has revealed her hopes for her daughter, Princess Lilibet, as she embraced a new role in interviewing. Meghan, 44, who formerly managed her own lifestyle blog, The Tig, recently highlighted the inspiring work of Avery Colvert, 15. Avery founded her own organization, Altadena Girls, to support teenage girls who lost their homes during the Los Angeles wildfires in January.
As the fires swept through the county, Prince Harry and Meghan issued a joint statement urging people to check in with their loved ones and neighbors. They wrote at the time:
“If a friend, loved one, or pet has to evacuate, and you are able to offer them a safe haven in your home, please do. Be sure to check in with any disabled or elderly neighbours to see if they need help evacuating. Some families and people have been left with nothing. Please consider donating clothing, children’s toys, clothing and other essentials. The American Red Cross is on the ground helping those in need.”
Following the wildfires, the Sussexes visited a meal distribution site to aid those affected. Meghan also quietly volunteered with the Altadena Girls, personally dropping off bags of donations.
In a feature for Town & Country’s November issue, the Duchess interviewed Avery to discuss how she founded the organization through a social media call-out. They talked about how the group has since expanded its work, including the recent opening of a community center in Pasadena.
Meghan told Avery, “You never thought your work would grow to be this big. And even if it hadn’t, it still would have been meaningful and made an impact. My goodness, if our daughter turns out to be anything like you, I’ll be the proudest mom.”
**Archie and Lilibet’s Halloween Fun**
Harry and Meghan are parents to Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four. The couple often share anecdotes about their children through interviews, public appearances, and on Meghan’s Instagram account.
During their visit to Colombia in 2024, Meghan spoke about how her daughter has “found her voice.” She said:
“Part of the role modelling that I certainly try to do as a mother is to encourage our daughter who, at three, she has found her voice. And we’re so proud of that because that is how we, as I was saying, create the conditions in which there’s a ripple effect of young girls and young women knowing that if someone else is encouraging them to use their voice and be heard, that’s what they’re going to do. And they’re going to create a different environment than so many of us grew up in.”
