Markle, who herself is a counselor, shared with the crowd a memory of her first summit in 2014. "In many ways, at the time, I was probably a lot like each of you – young, ambitious, advocating for the things I deeply and profoundly believed in – and also looking around and wondering, ‘How on earth did I get here?’"

梅根本人是一名咨询师，她和大家分享了她2014年第一次参加峰会的记忆。“在很多方面，当时的我可能和你们每个人都很像——年轻、雄心勃勃，为自己深信不疑的事情而奋斗——同时也会环顾四周，想:‘我到底是怎么走到这一步的?’”

Continuing, Markle said, "At that dinner, there were about 20 to 30 of us, for the counselors, and there I was, I was the girl from ‘Suits.’ and I was surrounded by world leaders, humanitarians, prime ministers and activists I had such a deep and long-standing respect and admiration for."

接着，马克尔说，“在那次晚宴上，我们大概有20到30个人，都是顾问，我这个《金装律师》里的女孩就在这里。我被自己长期以来深深敬佩和羡慕的世界各国领导人、人道主义者、首相和社会活跃分子包围着。”

Speaking candidly, the former actress explained, "I doubted myself and I wondered, wondered if I was good enough to even be there."

坦率地说，这位前女演员解释说:“我怀疑自己，我想知道，想知道我是否足够好，是否有资格来到这个峰会。”

Markle, now a mother to Archie, 3, and Lilibet,1, noted how her views of the world have changed since becoming a parent. "My world view had expanded exponentially seeing the global community, through the eyes of my child. And I would ask, ‘What is this world he would come to adopt and what can we do, what can I do, to make it better?' I'm thrilled that my husband is able to join me here this time."

梅根现在是3岁的阿奇和1岁的莉莉贝特的母亲，她指出自己为人父母后对世界的看法发生了怎样的变化。“通过我孩子的眼睛观察全球，我的世界观得到了指数级的扩展。我会问，‘他将要接收的这个世界是什么样子的? 我们能做些什么，我能做些什么，去让它变得更好?”我很高兴我的丈夫这次能和我一起来这里。”

She expanded on the importance of the event, stating, "One Young World has been an integral part of my life for so many years before I met him, so to meet again here, on U.K. soil, with him by my side, makes it all feel full circle."

她进一步阐述了这次活动的重要性，她说:“在我遇到他之前，全球青年高峰论坛已经是我生活中不可缺少的一部分，所以在英国的土地上再次参加并有哈利陪在我身边，让我感觉一切都很圆满。”
