Meghan Markle is on a roll, guys.
Check it – she got married to a prince, her glitzy wedding ceremony was attended and celebrated by Hollywood’s top stars, and now she’s gone and her landed own page on the British monarchy’s website.
Is there nothing that the woman can’t do?
The official profile of Markle – who was given the title of the Duchess of Sussex – is now up and running on the royal website, according to The Guardian.
Here’s a screenshot from the profile itself:
That’s some real validation of her royal status right there.
The profile includes details about Markle’s marriage to Prince Harry, her achievements, and her charitable endeavors:
From a young age, The Duchess had a keen awareness of social issues and actively participated in charitable work. Aged 11 she successfully campaigned for a company to alter their television advert that had used sexist language to sell washing-up liquid. Her Royal Highness also volunteered at a soup kitchen in Skid Row, Los Angeles from the age of 13-17. She continued to volunteer at the soup kitchen when she would return home to Los Angeles until the age of 22.
These early experiences helped to shape her lifelong commitment to causes such as social justice and women’s empowerment.
Great to know.
There’s also some info about her role as the US women’s advocate for women’s political participation and leadership in 2015, as well as her ambassadorial work for the charity World Vision:
Her Royal Highness became a Global Ambassador for World Vision in 2016. As part of her work with the charity The Duchess visited Rwanda on a clean water campaign that would work to allow young children to continue their education.
In 2017, Her Royal Highness undertook a second learning mission with the organisation when she visited India with World Vision to bring a greater awareness to girls’ lack of access to education. In the slum communities of Mumbai, The Duchess witnessed the work of the Myna Mahila Foundation who empower women through access to menstrual hygiene products and employment opportunities.
The Myna Mahila Foundation is one of the charities chosen by the couple to benefit from charitable donations made for the Royal Wedding.
Nice.
But the highlight of the profile has got to be a featured quote from the 2015 United Nations conference in New York that pretty much puts the Duchess of Sussex’s mission and identity in a nutshell:
I am proud to be a woman and a feminist.
Well done, Markle – I mean, your Highness.
