Meghan Markle shared an emotional encounter with a little kid at the Invictus Games, revealing a personal element important to her heart: her freckles.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, spoke with two youngsters during her visit to Canada with Prince Harry, when they attended a welcoming event in Whistler.
One of the lads expressed curiosity about Meghan's trademark freckles, leading her to react with a remark she had treasured for years: "A face without freckles is like a night without stars."
This sentence holds a special meaning for Meghan, who wrote a children's book with the same theme as a teenager. At the age of 15, she submitted A Face Without Freckles Is a Night Without Stars to the United States Copyright Office, marking one of her first efforts into writing.
Her book emphasized the beauty of freckles and self-acceptance, a concept she has promoted her whole life.
Meghan stated in the text, "Some people think freckles are strange, while I happen to disagree, because if I didn't have freckles, then I would not truly be me!"
Originally prepared as a school project, the book included a touching thank you to her parents for their support.
Meghan's affinity for narrative lasted into adulthood, culminating in the publication of The Bench in 2021, which became a Sunday Times bestseller. Her discussion at the Invictus Games provided as a poignant reminder of her early literary ambitions and her unshakable message of self-love.
