Meghan Markle captivates us with her fierce spirit, compassionate heart, and gracious words.
Long before Meghan Markle graced the cover of every magazine and newspaper in town as the beautiful bride-to-be of His Royal Highness Prince Harry – with the nuptials slated to be held on the 19th of May, 2018 – I knew her as the striking Rachel Zane on the hit show Suits, a role which catapulted her to fame. After all, one would be hard-pressed to forget an introduction as strong as hers. When the first words her love interest, Mike Ross, said to her character were, “Wow, you’re pretty”, she fired back with, “Good. You’ve hit on me. We can get it out of the way that I’m not interested.” But more than being just the face and soul of this character who brought so much heart to a well-loved show, Meghan also brings the very same wilfulness, assertiveness, and compassion so ingrained in her DNA to the new role she is about to undertake.

Born and raised in California, if there’s one term Meghan doesn’t shy away from wearing with blazing pride, it’s the ‘f’ word – feminist. In her speech at the U.N. Women’s 2015 conference, she recounted how a commercial for Procter and Gamble’s dishwashing soap had played in school with the tagline: “Women all over America are fighting greasy pots and pans.” This prompted two male classmates to snicker at how women did indeed ‘belong’ in the kitchen. “I remember feeling shocked and angry, and also, just feeling so hurt. It wasn’t right and something needed to be done,” she shared.
