Meghan Markle is speaking candidly about facing negative scrutiny in the public eye. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, spoke to Time CEO Jessica Sibley at the TIME100 Summit in New York City on Wednesday, April 23, revealing how she protects herself from outside criticism and maintains peace. She believes the most important thing is to make a conscious effort to “create boundaries” for herself, her mental health and well-being, and “certainly to role model” that for her children.

I think it's just as paramount of importance for young men to be raised with a confidence and sense of self that is going to empower the women around them too,” she said.

When I am able to not even just tune out whatever that noise is, [but] to really not give it any credence, that has become so much a part of my day-to-day life.” Even though her struggle with hardships remain consistent, Meghan feels grateful towards life.
“A confession for you today that I can very comfortably say is that I'm the happiest I've ever been. To have a partner and a husband who is so supportive and have healthy kids who are so joyful..
.I never would have imagined at this point I would feel so happy and grateful, and I really do,” she said. The Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry stepped back from their royal roles in 2020 — a decision that drew global attention — and later relocated to her home state of California.
There, they’re raising their two children, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3..
