British Royal Family News says that Meghan Markle has made her first speech in several month and her first one since stepping down as a full-time working member of the monarchy. The former Hollywood star was the keynote speaker for the U.N. Foundation’s 2020 Girl Up Leadership Summit, which was held virtually this year because of the coronavirus. Here’s what you need to know.
Looking radiant with her hair down while wearing what looks like a cobalt blue top, the Duchess of Sussex addressed “young women around the world who aren’t just poised to change the world, but have already begun changing the world,” and told them they have more leverage now than ever before to make a difference in their lives and the lives of others.

“I want to share something with you,” she said. “It’s that those in the halls and corridors and places of power — from lawmakers and world leaders to executives — all of those people, they depend on you more than you will ever depend on them. And here’s the thing: They know this. “They know that all of you, at a younger age than any modern comparison, are setting the tone for an equitable humanity. Not figuratively, literally. This is a humanity that desperately needs you. To push it, to push us, forcefully in a more inclusive, more just, and more empathetic direction. To not only frame the debate but be in charge of the debate — on racial justice, gender, climate change, mental health and well-being, on civic engagement, on public service, on so much more. That’s the work you’re already out there doing.”
Meghan also added some key advice about the work that still needs to be done, especially when it comes to gender equality and women helping other women in this world. She said, “We are not meant to be breaking each other down; we are meant to be building each other up. So use your voice both on and offline to do just that — build each other up, support each other. The moment we are living through right now asks all of us to do more. It’s a moment where your voices, and your action, have never been more urgently needed.”
