But Meghan thinks that her new strength is parenting.

According to Ash Heese, a manager for the program, the new mom "said parenting is the new strength that she and Harry are learning."

According to the CEO of the charity, Meghan was the one who suggested getting on the ground and playing with the children.

“She sat down and within a few moments, she saw that the babies were all being held by their mothers. She saw the play mat, she said, ‘Let’s get these babies on the ground," Frank Beadle de Palomo said of the royal's visit. "She sat on the ground with us. She pulled us down and she just engaged with the children."

Meghan wasn't shy when it came to playing with the children.

"She played ball with them, she caught their eye, never forgetting the attention she had with the mentor mothers who were speaking to her," Frank Beadle de Palomo said.

Meghan brought clothes that her son, Archie, had grown out of, as well as from clothes from her friends’ children to donate to the charity.

"It’s so important that we're able to share what's worked for our family and know that we're all in this together with each other. So we wanted to share something from our home to each of yours," she said.
