We all know Meghan Markle didn’t start out in the world of royalty. But even after joining the British royal family, she's made it clear that she's not letting her new title change who she truly is. During her recent African tour, the 38-year-old duchess took some time to connect with female business leaders. They discussed everything from motherhood to her role as the Duchess of Sussex. Matsi Modise, the founder of Simodisa, a skills training company, shared some of the heartfelt things Meghan said during their chat.

“She spoke candidly about what it’s like to be a mother and balance her duties as a duchess,” Matsi recalled. “She emphasized the importance of staying true to yourself, even when life throws you into unexpected roles. Meghan made it clear that just because you’ve become a duchess, it doesn’t mean you should lose sight of who you are. Your passions and dreams don’t fade away; you have to keep pursuing them.”

Matsi was genuinely moved by Meghan’s words. “She inspired us to take the next step with our big ideas,” Matsi said. “She reminded us that when you’ve reached a certain level of success, you’re not just climbing for yourself—you’re paving the way for others. It’s about pushing forward, knowing that every step you take is for the benefit of those who will follow.
