Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, says that being a mother is her “superpower” because mums “juggle it all” with “grace and grit”.
The duchess also said that her daughter, Princess Lilibet, makes her feel “brave”.
Meghan made the admissions while answering questions for Instyle ahead of the release of Cookie Queens, the latest documentary from her production company.
Asked by a child what her superpower is, she replied: “Being a mum.”
She said: “I feel like we have superpowers because we juggle it all and enjoy it all with grace and grit at the same time.”
When asked by another child about what makes her feel brave, Meghan said: “Every day, when I feel a little bit like, ‘Oh gosh, can I do this?’ I go: ‘Lili would do it.’”
Cookie Queens is a coming-of-age documentary about Girl Scouts selling cookies.
It was produced by Meghan and her husband Prince Harry’s company Archewell Productions, in association with Beautiful Stories and AJNA Films.
The documentary, which had its premiere at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, follows “four tenacious girls (who) strive to be a top-selling ‘Cookie Queen’, navigating an $800 million business in which childhood and ambition collide”.
In January, Meghan, 45, delivered a speech at Sundance in support of the project, which was directed by Alysa Nahmias
She called it a “powerful and meaningful depiction of something that is an American tradition” and “probably the cutest at the festival”.
She added: “I’m also going to go out on a limb and say it is one of the most powerful and meaningful depictions of something that is an American tradition and rooted in nostalgia.
“It is now put through this lens from the incredible creative vision of Alysa to show something modernised about the girlhood experience and all the layers of complexity that come with that.
“So yes, it’s cute, and yes, these young ladies are fantastic and adorable, but they are also layered beautiful girls who are about to become very strong leaders and young women.”
Harry and Meghan founded their media production company in 2020, which has an ongoing partnership with Netflix.
Archewell Productions produced the couple’s documentary series Harry & Meghan in 2022, followed by Meghan’s lifestyle series With Love, Meghan in 2025.
The company’s other credits include Live To Lead, which features interviews with world leaders and influencers, and the documentaries Heart Of Invictus and Polo.
