Meghan Markle addressed crowd at Manhattan event
Addressing the Ms Foundation for Women’s 50th anniversary event, in Manhattan, on Tuesday, Meghan Markle told those in attendance:
“You can charter a path in which what you repeat in your daily acts of service, in kindness, in advocacy, in grace and in fairness, that those become the very things that are recognised by the next wave of women, both young and old.”
“You can charter a path,” she added, “in which what you repeat in your daily acts of service, in kindness, in advocacy, in grace and in fairness, that those become the very things that are recognised by the next wave of women, both young and old, who will also choose this moment to join the movement and make our vision for an equitable world reality.”
Princess Diana, Harry’s mother, passed away in Paris, in 1997, when the car she was travelling in, which was being pursued by paparazzi crashed.
