Actions speak louder than words. Humanitarian? Women advocate?Why do you treat your staff like trash. 7 people quit in a year. Thats unheard of. So fake. You are embarrassed of your father but talk of him here so well. You only act like you are a good person but you are not
He embarrassed himself. He doesn't deserve any kindness or charity from her. She has only ever said good things about him, but can't say the same for that piece of shit, who sold her out, for money, and doesn't say shit about his other daughter's crazy thirsty obsessed ass, and her drunken deranged, loser brother's jealous money hungry asses, harassing Meghan because she refuses to let them use her. Meghan IS a Humanitarian. She's helped provide water, food, education, millions of dollars for charity, this is WELL-DOCUMENTED FACT.
She was with that guy for a total of 10 years why it took him so long to ask for her hand? Also getting married might have been a last ditch attempt of saving their relationship which obviously didn’t work out in the end......
GammaSouljah don’t be dumb. The reason it took them so long to get married was because she started dating when they were young and had to build careers.The exact same thing happened with Kate and William. As for the divorce her career really took off after she got married. Her husbands was very stagnant. So she divorced him when she realized she could do way better. And she did.
Florida girl William and Kate would break up constantly. William actually had eyes for another girl but she rebuffed him so in the end when they got on williams case to do his duty and produce heirs for the british throne he did the the only thing he could and married kate. Better than some toff he had zero interest in that they would have lined up like Diana with Charles.........
This is the same woman who wore earrings gifted from a Saudi prince who allegedly ordered the murder of a journalist… not to mention women in Saudi Arabia can’t even buy their own underwear without a man present. Feminist my a$$. She chose expensive diamonds over feminism in a heartbeat.
hope you really didnt mean the underwear comment. 'cause ive lived in that country for 15 yrs and let me just say things are exaggerated way beyond the accepted level about that country.
For all the folks OBSESSED with the length of the Duchess dress, you were searching to find some fault, so her dress was short, this is not the 18th century She dress for comfort, if you were listening to her words instead of staring at her legs that would benefit some of you on this feed, Ready to pass judgment and some of you can't even spell or write proper grammar.

yeah, not buying this that she was the only one who made this change happen. I wonder how many complaints in whole the company received over the commercial. I would bet there was a lot more that just her! She is delusional.
This is the woman Prince Harry married. But a briefcase girl at Deal or No Deal is all haters will see. If this isn't misogyny and discrimination - I don't know what is.
Very few people have access to the addresses of celebrities. If I wrote a simple letter about women and kitchens, an issue that had been hashed, and rehashed, for at least 40 years prior to the nineties, I doubt I would have recieved an answer. Either her father made the connections and/or assistants wrote the letters. It certainly wasn't an epiphany, and her reaction wasn't unique either.

@oldsexy it's funny isn't that the so called country of moral now have no moral, decency and no class. Am so embarrassed to say am from the UK especially with thier journalism. How can it be that the campaign for women's improvement in this male dominated world is now known to be a ruse. It's a joke that the UK establishment and their tabloids care about women equal rights. If they do, then Meghan should be celebrated and put in the forefront of royal agenda. Since Meghan came into UK royal. The talk now is she works too much, she wakes staff up early to make them work, she organised her wedding herself, she's controlling, she has too much idea and she gets involved with many things, she's too dedicated, she's to opinionated, she's too strong for Harry. If she has been a man, they would have recommended her for a noble price. Buy they would rather prefer a bimbo dumb workshy woman who just stand by her man and wave to public for pictures.

Wow she acknowledged her father for encouraging her as an 11 year old to stand up for what she believed in, he encouraged her to write a letter ...... well done Dad.
The same father she has disregarded in front of the whole world? The father she does not accept and has publicly humiliated? Not like he is a bad person - just unfortunate enough to have her as a daughter
@@veronicaodonnell2893 Who hurt you Veronica? 😂😂😂 or is it because of how insecure you are as a woman? It seems you've been bottling alot up deep down inside. Would you like to talk about it? Cause damn.
@@Khemani_RL but Meghan is a charitable humanitarian .Can't she forgive him for one mistake? After all he was the one who looked after her ,took care of her and paid for her expensive education?
Below there are many making stupid comments out of ignorance, jealousy, bigotry, xenophobia, but one should avoid doing so. For those who do: One should never poke fun with disparaging comments at someone achievements especially when one does not have matching achievements. Did you start feeding the homeless at age 10? Do you have decade-long record of fundraising for charities? Are you a National Merit Scholar? Did you graduate from a world class University with a double major? Did you ever hold three global ambassadorships from three different global institutions? Are you a self-made millionaire with two brands?
7:30 “We need more men like my father.” This woman will go which wherever way the wind blows 🤥🐍🤥🤦🏻♀️🤢🤮🙄😨🤔🫣😱😱😱😱😱😱 Knowing what we know now about her betrayal of her father, how honest was this speech?🙄
Being a Royal doesn't mean you have to be "Polished and Perfect"... Catherine has admitted herself that she is not good at Public Speaking and Neither was Princess Diana. Anyway the Royals are Public Servants not Paid Celebrities.. Contrived is Boring. I note Meghan doesn't state she's "A Woman of Colour"... No mention of her Mother... Yet Champions her Father.
@@drk7031 Nonsense! Actors are never required to memorize a 9-minute speech. Acting and public speaking may seem the same but they are not. Few actors are good public speakers and the best public speakers are not actors. Meghan was an excellent public speaker before she became an actor - see her 14-year old middle school graduation speech.
I still think this amazing lady is more comfortable in her own shoes than in Harry's. She is greater and more powerful on her own terms than on those of the royal family. That said I hope they relish her value and give her an open non restricted platform b'se her greatness should not be limited but rather utilized even for their own benefit.
Charli Wat she got red because she was nervous. But damn she hid it well ( except for the redness) you couldn't tell. I usually go blank when i am nervous.
oh yeah on her chest. I knew someone who when under stress or anxious that would happen to. She's holding it together tho. I could never get up there and do that.
UN Women had taken her off and has kept her off of their official website. There are countless references to previous advocates in previous years--including references to women at the highest levels of politics--but nothing about her anymore, anywhere. She had a falling out with them. Think about that. A falling out with the United Nations.
I mean she seemed so nice and soo fit to be a princess, I even thought she would be the next princess Diana. But what have happened to her?! Wimbledon fiasco showed pure diva side of her. And she’s spending sick amount of money too. Also so much of a feminist clinging her dear life onto the prince’s arm all the time. Huge disappointment
Nothing happened but a few insecure people trying to assassinate her character because she is popular. And as Meghan is driving home here in her speech media literacy is important. You can continue to allow the media to determine how you think or you can start asking questions as to whether you believe news sources that are tabloids meant to print gossip and lies.
Royal Tanya Ok I get that the media is too harsh to her. But then what do you think about the Wimbledon photo ban fiasco? While Kate had no problem sitting among the crowds without 40 empty seats around her 2 days prior to Meghan’s visit. You still think “nothing” happened?
It was a class assignment. All the students in the class wrote to Proctor and Gamble. She makes it sound like it was her idea and she, on her own, wrote to the company. LIAR!!!
It’s so cute she thinks SHE is the reason the commercial changed 😂😂 her dad probably made her think so, but hun, tons of people wrote in about that one!!
👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍 Thank you, thank you for not being a blind sheep, who thinks that she is wonderful and perfect...she's a lying narcissistic con artist who is out for what she can get...unless she wants a 2nd child (by surrogacy again) then Harry is past his sell by date and doesn't know or realize it... it's going to be messy when she sells her story again copying Diana..doing and interview and a book, and she will sell it everywhere possible for as much money as possible for as long as possible... I wouldn't be surprised if it happens once the severe restrictions are lifted... she lied about living in Canada back in early March..they returned to wherever they are in California when they finished the last of their senior royal duties ... just look at the videos Harry has done..the background gives it away...
@@msg4141 lol, oh yeah very superior to me in her manipulative behaviors, lying ability, ability to use others, ability to have her husband beg for work for her which she ended up massively flopping on all but ensuring that Disney never hires her again as well as doubtfully anyone else especially without being able to trade on the royal titles and family connections, ability to dismiss family members and friends as soon as they are no longer of any value, extremely superior to me when it comes to her absolute desperate need for attention and her attention seeking abilities. I will hold my hands up and agree with that! It's just sad that you are either one of those "Sugars" or "Sussex squad", though aren't they interchangeable..calling her queen Meghan and her child king Archie, it's absolutely delusional and bizarre, as she will never be, nor will Archie. Are you and your buddies going to continue "donating" to her trusts, and begging others to donate to her as well? You realize that the vast majority of the money goes into her pockets and not to anyone in actual need right. You realize that the £90,000 donation wasn't her money but the BBC's donated in their name. You realize that the whole volunteering with Angel Food was a set up P.R stunt right? If not then you should try looking into the truth of things and not wishful thinking.
Les anglais ont craché dans la soupe d’exiger le départ de Meghan. C’est quand même triste de harceler une femme d’une telle valeur. La presse poubelle ne lui arrive pas à la cheville. La famille royale a perdu beaucoup aussi de ne pas l’avoir protégée de toute cette haine. Harry a pris la bonne décision de l’éloigner de cet environnement toxique.
Truth Pohl ummm shes not a princess, nor will she ever be one. She’ll never be queen either, contrary to people like you not knowing what they’re talking about. She’s a Duchess. Sheesh 🤦🏼♀️
Thursday 19 July 2018, Dear Meghan, I write this letter in good faith that you will read this, being inspired by your eleven year old self. I believe that you are a genuinely, respectful and intelligent person. You are an amazing woman in your own right, and now a Duchess. I hope you will achieve all your dreams and reach billions of poor people from your new platform as a member of the Royal Family with your beloved husband Harry there to support you, and support Each other. I hope your Daddy comes to His senses and stops talking to the press for money, so that you can reconcile with Your Daddy! I am grateful for your mother Doria she’s a respectable woman and admired by everyone in the world, Doria raised you very well Meghan. In the wonderful name of Jesus Christ our Lord, I wish you the very, very best. I look forward to seeing you mother all of you and Harry’s delightful children. Much Love, Louise 😘❤️😘🙏🏽💕

She love her dad she trying to help her but her dad sells dirty stuff incorrectly information about he owns daughter. He love the money more than he relationship with her. So how he going to protect her even he owns daughter he liar fault stories about her. She wants him to attend her wedding but excuse he got heartaches. But he liar media took photos of him he pay fast foods he act homeless. Not only that he kept sells negative things about her he use her name make a money.
He has turned out to be disgraceful man, selling misinformation with derogatery comments on her .causing her immeasurable pain and shame,Nope not a drop dead fan
This is so cringey, kids of 11 in some countries are married and are the ones that really need a voice. Some of these people are so full of it. Her poor dad isnt even worth talking about now is he?
@@thenecessities1932 it was her school classes whole effort NOT hers alone. Its a farce like her other stories e.g. south africa rejoicing for her hahaha
Wow, the royal family must be wondering what the heck they are in for, with this new relationship of Meghan and Harry - two very energetic idealists/activists. Look out world!!!! Hopefully, together, they will be able to motivate a lot of change for the good of our world, but also keep their relationship as their priority.
She is only known because of whom she is dating and nothing else. And also the person whom she is dating is known beacuse he belongs to a particular family and not because of his achievements or accomplishments (he does not have any). So the point is, what ever she is blabbering here are just empty words. She does not deserve to be known, she does not desereve to be famous.
With all due respect to Catherine the DOC, she didn't really do much before marrying William. She graduated college and did odd jobs here and there for ten years, never really pursuing a goal or a career. Although not justified, that's why she got labeled "Waity Katie" cause it seemed as if she was just killing time before she got married. Meghan had a whole life before Prince Harry came into the picture.
tdmm drknr No the Prince is an idiot for marrying a snob who was already married and divorced after 2 years, and a woman who promotes false narratives. I don't see you shallow pieces of shit complaining that men are portrayed in almost all construction ads. You only complain when women are stereotyped. Grow up people.
Wamen oppressed by dish soap. I've been saying this for years. finally meh whife now works the wrinkles out her fingers by giving me a handy immediately after.
The irony of her marrying into the Royals after listening to ger strong sense of feminism.. Because for them position and title is how they make their livelihood. She will definately be a game changer.
trust in Henry to do what is right. He will prevail. No matter what comes his way. Henry is like an eagle. RMM is like a puppy dog. Trying to be a wolf. Wolves in sheep's clothing. Recognize. Anyway. Henry knows what he is doing. Go Henry! Woot!woot! ✌️
By marrying Harry maybe he bought her to the Realisation that's she's not just a "Woman and a Feminist"...She's also a "Woman of Colour"... Harry did good work in our Commonwealth Country and much Respected by Our Indigenous Elders, Young Leaders...The Whole Community. No Mention of her Mother... Yet Praises her Father... Confusing...
That's right at the age of 11 you are being heard by higher authorities n they take you serious enough to sort out a problem or situation but in my country women are not so privileged. Forget about a 11 yr old girl child
Aska Stodup Stfu, she wouldn’t even be queen, so what’s the point of marrying Harry? She’s already very popular, since she’s an actress. Research before talking ur bullshit
And yes she is perfectly correct about women need to be involved in policy making. because after these laws are implemented we are the one thrown in the mist going around like a WASHER trying to sort things out!!!
What is a woman to do when she isn't listened to by everyone she speaks to because of inadequate articulation? what am i to do after multiple traumatic experiences since early childhood that went right on into my adulthood 52 years later? how can i help others being ill and disabled? if my grandad hadntve survived the dday landings during ww2 where he was the ONLY survivor of his unit, if he hadntve survived my estranged mother wouldn't of been born then ultimately neither would ive been. Being an unwanted pregnancy my estranged mother tried to get me aborted.abortion was legalized one year after i was born. (My view on abortion is murder,i can't see it any other way)having been raped numerous times in my late teens i had gotten pregnant twice and was constantly forced and cajoled into having two terminations.this to this day still haunts and greives me over two lost souls who didnt ever get a chance to experience this planet earth.maybe they were spared the horrors that ive had to endure all these years of multiple traumatic events? 😢 as im a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and many drug overdoses; homelessness, multiple beatings from two ex husbands and a survivor of a homicide where my dad was murdered in 1999,and many other events, what is my purpose in life? im now a mother and grandmother but so very lonely, ignored misunderstood and rejected, i have mental and physical health problems so feel im not much use to anyone, im a good friend to an ex semi professional boxer who had alot of head injuries of which most were self inflicted and who has a drug and gambling problem, liver problems, diabetes type 2 and mental/emotional health problems too.my faith in JESUS CHRIST is what's brought me through many tragedies and il do my best to follow HIM.Gby all
Yes she is. The haters refuse to admit that Meghan is a great person with many accomplishment in life long before Harry. She is always a goer, can't sit doing nothing. Such a great speaker. she is, very articulate. When delivering speech, not a piece of paper in front of her. She does extemporaneous speech with little preparation in front of a big audience (at UN Assembly, Fiji South Pacific U, etc etc). She has a great voice and her diction is perfect. These are the qualities of a perfect Duchess of Sussex. She is incomparable! This is why the haters are jealous because of her capability and accomplishment. The haters are lurking in every sites whenever there is a video of her (Meghan). It's no wonder, Prince Harry fell in love with her even in their first meeting. When Prince Harry was asked by the paparazzi when he started to fall in love with her, He said "the moment I saw her". Such a great answer!
When I was just eleven years old, I unknowingly and somehow accidentally became a female advocate. It was around the same time as the Beijing conference, so a little over twenty years ago, where in my hometown of Los Angeles a pivotal moment reshaped my notion of what is possible. See, I had been in school watching a TV show in elementary school, and this commercial came on with the tagline for this dishwashing liquid and the tagline said, ‘Women all over America are fighting greasy pots and pans.’ Two boys from my class said, ‘Yeah, that’s where women belong, in the kitchen.’I remember feeling shocked and angry and also just feeling so hurt; it just wasn’t right, and something needed to be done. So I went home and told my dad what had happened, and he encouraged me to write letters, so I did, to the most powerful people I could think of. Now my eleven-year-old self worked out that if I really wanted someone to hear me, well then I should write a letter to the First Lady. So off I went, scribbling away to our First Lady at the time, Hillary Clinton. I also put pen to paper and I wrote a letter to my news source at the time, Linda Ellerbee, who hosted a kids news program, and then to powerhouse attorney Gloria Allred, because even at eleven I wanted to cover all my bases. Finally I wrote to the soap manufacturer. And a few weeks went by and to my surprise I received letters of encouragement from Hillary Clinton, from Linda Ellerbee, and from Gloria Allred. It was amazing. The kids news show, they sent a camera crew to my home to cover the story, and it was roughly a month later when the soap manufacturer, Procter & Gamble, changed the commercial for their Ivory Clear dishwashing liquid. They changed it from ‘Women all over America are fighting greasy pots and pans’ to ‘People all over America’. It was at that moment that I realized the magnitude of my actions. At the age of eleven I had created my small level of impact by standing up for equality. Now, equality means that President Paul Kagame of Rwanda, whose country I recently visited as part of my learning mission with UN Women, it means that he is equal to the little girl in the Gihembe refugee camp who is dreaming about being president one day. Equality means that UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is equal to the young intern at the UN who is dreaming about shaking his hand. It means that a wife, it means that a wife is equal to her husband; a sister to her brother. Not better, not worse - they are equal. UN Women, as you guys know, has defined the year 2030 as the expiration date for gender inequality. And here’s what’s staggering: the studies show that at the current rate, the elimination of gender inequality won’t be possible until 2095. That’s another eighty years from now. And when it comes to women’s political participation and leadership the percentage of female parliamentarians globally has only increased by 11 per cent since 1995. Eleven per cent in twenty years? Come on. This has to change. Women make up more than half of the world’s population and potential, so it is neither just nor practical for their voices, for our voices, to go unheard at the highest levels of decision-making. The way that we change that, in my opinion, is to mobilize girls and women to see their value as leaders, and to support them in these efforts. To have leaders such as President Kagame of Rwanda continue to be a role model of a country which has a parliamentary system comprised of 64 per cent female leaders. I mean, it’s the highest of any government in the world and it’s unbelievable. We need more men like that, just as we need more men like my father who championed my eleven-year-old self to stand up for what is right. In doing this, we remind girls that their small voices are, in fact, not small at all, and that they can effect change. In doing this, we remind women that their involvement matters. That they need to become active in their communities, in their local governments, as well as in the highest parliamentary positions. It is just imperative: women need a seat at the table, they need an invitation to be seated there, and in some cases, where this is not available, well then, you know what, they need to create their own table. We need a global understanding that we cannot implement change effectively without women’s political participation. It is said that girls with dreams become women with vision. May we empower each other to carry out such vision - because it isn’t enough to simply talk about equality. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to simply believe in it. One must work at it. Let us work at it. Together. Starting now.
That dishwasher add was mentioned gazillions of times. She hasn't achieved anything spectacular. D grade(d) actress nobody even knew, not In Europe, not in USA. Laughable. And she's horrible menacing personality.
Really weird how red her skin got from the start of the speech to the end of the speech. I think it has to do with anxiety, caused by plagiarism and/or lying , 🤔🧐🤥

Meghan, where is your father Thomas Markle, the man that you owe so much to, and have you visited him lately? Your words are empty and without merit.
After watching Meghan Markle's speech, I understood why Prince Harry fell in love with her. If I were him, I would do the same thing.
Mai Nguyen I can also see why she was divorced after only being married for 2 years. I call Harry divorcing her ass in less than 5 years.
She was with that guy for a total of 10 years why it took him so long to ask for her hand? Also getting married might have been a last ditch attempt of saving their relationship which obviously didn’t work out in the end......

Anyone who separates you from your family is a terrible human being, period.
Totally agree 👍🏽
Why is the story all about her and her feelings? And why omit that it was a project for the whole class?
You know the answer.
Anyone notices how her chest becomes flushed in red spots as the speech progresses?
thank you captain obvious 🤭
She’s lying
Very few people have access to the addresses of celebrities. If I wrote a simple letter about women and kitchens, an issue that had been hashed, and rehashed, for at least 40 years prior to the nineties, I doubt I would have recieved an answer.

Below there are many making stupid comments out of ignorance, jealousy, bigotry, xenophobia, but one should avoid doing so. For those who do: One should never poke fun with disparaging comments at someone achievements especially when one does not have matching achievements. Did you start feeding the homeless at age 10? Do you have decade-long record of fundraising for charities? Are you a National Merit Scholar? Did you graduate from a world class University with a double major? Did you ever hold three global ambassadorships from three different global institutions? Are you a self-made millionaire with two brands?
Such a FRAUD
7:30 “We need more men like my father.” This woman will go which wherever way the wind blows
🤥🐍🤥🤦🏻♀️🤢🤮🙄😨🤔🫣😱😱😱😱😱😱
Knowing what we know now about her betrayal of her father, how honest was this speech?🙄
this speech was happened before Harry or the Royal family
And what about her Dad's betrayal? Oh! I guess you don't know that coz u have a saintly father! (HYPOCRITE to the max)
She's so racist. Ugh

when you're in un giving a statement ,... Give a statement, don't give you Oscar winner monologue jeez no wonder you're profession is acting
now this is how kate middleton needs to talk.no stuttering and repetition of words worst yet reading from paper .
You are inspiring anyone that is good but you should not demean anybody. No one is perfect. You could also have shortcomings.
But Kate isn't an actress. This is acting
Being a Royal doesn't mean you have to be "Polished and Perfect"...
Catherine has admitted herself that she is not good at Public Speaking and Neither was Princess Diana.
Anyway the Royals are Public Servants not Paid Celebrities..
Contrived is Boring.
I note Meghan doesn't state she's "A Woman of Colour"...
No mention of her Mother...
Yet Champions her Father.
Name dropping ,,,living with her Dad ,liar changed it to living with her mommy ,,which is it Meghan
It's easy to say when you are the girlfriend of the Prince of England.
so phony
How do people give out speeches like this? Do they remember the entire speech? She didn’t even look down at the notes even once.
Shes an actress they re used to remembering things
@@drk7031 Nonsense! Actors are never required to memorize a 9-minute speech. Acting and public speaking may seem the same but they are not. Few actors are good public speakers and the best public speakers are not actors. Meghan was an excellent public speaker before she became an actor - see her 14-year old middle school graduation speech.
I still think this amazing lady is more comfortable in her own shoes than in Harry's. She is greater and more powerful on her own terms than on those of the royal family. That said I hope they relish her value and give her an open non restricted platform b'se her greatness should not be limited but rather utilized even for their own benefit.

She’s globally loathed
UN Women had taken her off and has kept her off of their official website. There are countless references to previous advocates in previous years--including references to women at the highest levels of politics--but nothing about her anymore, anywhere. She had a falling out with them. Think about that. A falling out with the United Nations.
She is SO full of self aggrandizement!! She actually has done nothing but tell stories!!
The UN dropped her because they knew this
She’s got that something extremely attractive about her. She’s got that extra charm. Not just her beauty.

Jared Cox so why don't you think she has "brains" ? This should be good.
no beauty
I mean she seemed so nice and soo fit to be a princess, I even thought she would be the next princess Diana. But what have happened to her?! Wimbledon fiasco showed pure diva side of her. And she’s spending sick amount of money too. Also so much of a feminist clinging her dear life onto the prince’s arm all the time. Huge disappointment
Nothing happened but a few insecure people trying to assassinate her character because she is popular. And as Meghan is driving home here in her speech media literacy is important. You can continue to allow the media to determine how you think or you can start asking questions as to whether you believe news sources that are tabloids meant to print gossip and lies.
Royal Tanya Ok I get that the media is too harsh to her. But then what do you think about the Wimbledon photo ban fiasco? While Kate had no problem sitting among the crowds without 40 empty seats around her 2 days prior to Meghan’s visit. You still think “nothing” happened?
It was a class assignment. All the students in the class wrote to Proctor and Gamble. She makes it sound like it was her idea and she, on her own, wrote to the company. LIAR!!!
It’s so cute she thinks SHE is the reason the commercial changed 😂😂 her dad probably made her think so, but hun, tons of people wrote in about that one!!
Who is here after she married prince 👑 Harry?? That woman deserves her prince! She was born to be a princess 👸 so people leave Meghan markle alone!
She ripped this off Eleanor Roosevelt didn’t she?!
👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you, thank you for not being a blind sheep, who thinks that she is wonderful and perfect...she's a lying narcissistic con artist who is out for what she can get...unless she wants a 2nd child (by surrogacy again) then Harry is past his sell by date and doesn't know or realize it... it's going to be messy when she sells her story again copying Diana..doing and interview and a book, and she will sell it everywhere possible for as much money as possible for as long as possible... I wouldn't be surprised if it happens once the severe restrictions are lifted... she lied about living in Canada back in early March..they returned to wherever they are in California when they finished the last of their senior royal duties ... just look at the videos Harry has done..the background gives it away...

I will hold my hands up and agree with that!
It's just sad that you are either one of those "Sugars" or "Sussex squad", though aren't they interchangeable..calling her queen Meghan and her child king Archie, it's absolutely delusional and bizarre, as she will never be, nor will Archie.

You realize that the vast majority of the money goes into her pockets and not to anyone in actual need right. You realize that the £90,000 donation wasn't her money but the BBC's donated in their name. You realize that the whole volunteering with Angel Food was a set up P.R stunt right?

Dear Meghan,
I write this letter in good faith that you will read this, being inspired by your eleven year old self. I believe that you are a genuinely, respectful and intelligent person. You are an amazing woman in your own right, and now a Duchess. I hope you will achieve all your dreams and reach billions of poor people from your new platform as a member of the Royal Family with your beloved husband Harry there to support you, and support Each other.
I hope your Daddy comes to His senses and stops talking to the press for money, so that you can reconcile with Your Daddy! I am grateful for your mother Doria she’s a respectable woman and admired by everyone in the world, Doria raised you very well Meghan.
In the wonderful name of Jesus Christ our Lord, I wish you the very, very best. I look forward to seeing you mother all of you and Harry’s delightful children.

So sad she talks so nicely about her father and all this drama is going on now :(
I think it is all very sad.... something does not sit right with me. How sad her Father must feel today.... he is her Father
She love her dad she trying to help her but her dad sells dirty stuff incorrectly information about he owns daughter. He love the money more than he relationship with her. So how he going to protect her even he owns daughter he liar fault stories about her. She wants him to attend her wedding but excuse he got heartaches. But he liar media took photos of him he pay fast foods he act homeless. Not only that he kept sells negative things about her he use her name make a money.
She is a clever woman. She is waiting for all this to die down and make good with him. I hope it's sooner than later

Thankyou for leaving this beautiful comment. It’s true, Meghan is right. She’s dating to speak up. ❤❤❤❤ here to support your beautiful comment.
She is only known because of whom she is dating and nothing else. And also the person whom she is dating is known beacuse he belongs to a particular family and not because of his achievements or accomplishments (he does not have any). So the point is, what ever she is blabbering here are just empty words. She does not deserve to be known, she does not desereve to be famous.

Why we don't see Kate's video long before she became a royal unlike Meghan? Never heard of her voice.
With all due respect to Catherine the DOC, she didn't really do much before marrying William. She graduated college and did odd jobs here and there for ten years, never really pursuing a goal or a career. Although not justified, that's why she got labeled "Waity Katie" cause it seemed as if she was just killing time before she got married. Meghan had a whole life before Prince Harry came into the picture.
bravo! amazing. the prince is very clever to marry her. she looks very lively too
tdmm drknr No the Prince is an idiot for marrying a snob who was already married and divorced after 2 years, and a woman who promotes false narratives. I don't see you shallow pieces of shit complaining that men are portrayed in almost all construction ads. You only complain when women are stereotyped. Grow up people.
Clever indeed 😉🤔

Cool speech, so nice to see Megs with out the bullshit, lies & fake news we usually find here on RUclips about her .
The irony of her marrying into the Royals after listening to ger strong sense of feminism.. Because for them position and title is how they make their livelihood. She will definately be a game changer.
trust in Henry to do what is right. He will prevail. No matter what comes his way. Henry is like an eagle. RMM is like a puppy dog. Trying to be a wolf. Wolves in sheep's clothing. Recognize. Anyway. Henry knows what he is doing.
Go Henry! Woot!woot! ✌️
She’s definitely a game changer..
O.M.G she did are you there to see you were right .
K. Mill and they didn’t like it. They would rather have furniture that women who contribute to actual change
By marrying Harry maybe he bought her to the Realisation that's she's not just a "Woman and a Feminist"...She's also a "Woman of Colour"...
Harry did good work in our Commonwealth Country and much Respected by Our Indigenous Elders, Young Leaders...The Whole Community.

That's right at the age of 11 you are being heard by higher authorities n they take you serious enough to sort out a problem or situation but in my country women are not so privileged. Forget about a 11 yr old girl child

Aska Stodup Stfu, she wouldn’t even be queen, so what’s the point of marrying Harry? She’s already very popular, since she’s an actress. Research before talking ur bullshit

What is a woman to do when she isn't listened to by everyone she speaks to because of inadequate articulation? what am i to do after multiple traumatic experiences since early childhood that went right on into my adulthood 52 years later? how can i help others being ill and disabled? if my grandad hadntve survived the dday landings during ww2 where he was the ONLY survivor of his unit, if he hadntve survived my estranged mother wouldn't of been born then ultimately neither would ive been. Being an unwanted pregnancy my estranged mother tried to get me aborted.abortion was legalized one year after i was born. (My view on abortion is murder,i can't see it any other way)having been raped numerous times in my late teens i had gotten pregnant twice and was constantly forced and cajoled into having two terminations.this to this day still haunts and greives me over two lost souls who didnt ever get a chance to experience this planet earth.maybe they were spared the horrors that ive had to endure all these years of multiple traumatic events? 😢 as im a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and many drug overdoses; homelessness, multiple beatings from two ex husbands and a survivor of a homicide where my dad was murdered in 1999,and many other events, what is my purpose in life? im now a mother and grandmother but so very lonely, ignored misunderstood and rejected, i have mental and physical health problems so feel im not much use to anyone, im a good friend to an ex semi professional boxer who had alot of head injuries of which most were self inflicted and who has a drug and gambling problem, liver problems, diabetes type 2 and mental/emotional health problems too.my faith in JESUS CHRIST is what's brought me through many tragedies and il do my best to follow HIM.Gby all
her uncle got her that position. He was in the us diplomatic corp
So jealous ! She is wonderful.
Yes she is. The haters refuse to admit that Meghan is a great person with many accomplishment in life long before Harry. She is always a goer, can't sit doing nothing. Such a great speaker. she is, very articulate. When delivering speech, not a piece of paper in front of her. She does extemporaneous speech with little preparation in front of a big audience (at UN Assembly, Fiji South Pacific U, etc etc). She has a great voice and her diction is perfect. These are the qualities of a perfect Duchess of Sussex. She is incomparable!
This is why the haters are jealous because of her capability and accomplishment. The haters are lurking in every sites whenever there is a video of her (Meghan). It's no wonder, Prince Harry fell in love with her even in their first meeting. When Prince Harry was asked by the paparazzi when he started to fall in love with her, He said "the moment I saw her". Such a great answer!
The magnitude of MY actions...says it all.
When I was just eleven years old, I unknowingly and somehow accidentally became a female advocate. It was around the same time as the Beijing conference, so a little over twenty years ago, where in my hometown of Los Angeles a pivotal moment reshaped my notion of what is possible.
See, I had been in school watching a TV show in elementary school, and this commercial came on with the tagline for this dishwashing liquid and the tagline said, ‘Women all over America are fighting greasy pots and pans.’ Two boys from my class said, ‘Yeah, that’s where women belong, in the kitchen.’I remember feeling shocked and angry and also just feeling so hurt; it just wasn’t right, and something needed to be done. So I went home and told my dad what had happened, and he encouraged me to write letters, so I did, to the most powerful people I could think of. Now my eleven-year-old self worked out that if I really wanted someone to hear me, well then I should write a letter to the First Lady. So off I went, scribbling away to our First Lady at the time, Hillary Clinton. I also put pen to paper and I wrote a letter to my news source at the time, Linda Ellerbee, who hosted a kids news program, and then to powerhouse attorney Gloria Allred,
because even at eleven I wanted to cover all my bases. Finally I wrote to the soap manufacturer.
And a few weeks went by and to my surprise I received letters of encouragement from Hillary Clinton, from Linda Ellerbee, and from Gloria Allred. It was amazing. The kids news show, they sent a camera crew to my home to cover the story, and it was roughly a month later when the soap manufacturer, Procter & Gamble, changed the commercial for their Ivory Clear dishwashing liquid. They changed it from ‘Women all over America are fighting greasy pots and pans’ to ‘People all over America’. It was at that moment that I realized the magnitude of my actions. At the age of eleven I had created my small level of impact by standing up for equality.
Now, equality means that President Paul Kagame of Rwanda, whose country I recently visited as part of my learning mission with UN Women, it means that he is equal to the little girl in the Gihembe refugee camp who is dreaming about being president one day. Equality means that UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is equal to the young intern at the UN who is dreaming about shaking his hand. It means that a wife, it means that a wife is equal to her husband; a sister to her brother. Not better, not worse - they are equal.
UN Women, as you guys know, has defined the year 2030 as the expiration date for gender inequality. And here’s what’s staggering: the studies show that at the current rate, the elimination of gender inequality won’t be possible until 2095. That’s another eighty years from now. And when it comes to women’s political participation and leadership the percentage of female parliamentarians globally has only increased by 11 per cent since 1995.
Eleven per cent in twenty years? Come on. This has to change. Women make up more than half of the world’s population and potential, so it is neither just nor practical for their voices, for our voices, to go unheard at the highest levels of decision-making. The way that we change that, in my opinion, is to mobilize girls and women to see their value as leaders, and to support them in these efforts. To have leaders such as President Kagame of Rwanda continue to be a role model of a country which has a parliamentary system comprised of 64 per cent female leaders.
I mean, it’s the highest of any government in the world and it’s unbelievable. We need more men like that, just as we need more men like my father who championed my eleven-year-old self to stand up for what is right. In doing this, we remind girls that their small voices are, in fact, not small at all, and that they can effect change. In doing this, we remind women that their involvement matters. That they need to become active in their communities, in their local governments, as well as in the highest parliamentary positions.
It is just imperative: women need a seat at the table, they need an invitation to be seated there, and in some cases, where this is not available, well then, you know what, they need to create their own table. We need a global understanding that we cannot implement change effectively without women’s political participation.
It is said that girls with dreams become women with vision. May we empower each other to carry out such vision - because it isn’t enough to simply talk about equality. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to simply believe in it. One must work at it. Let us work at it. Together. Starting now.
