Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Will Visit Colombia

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are headed to Colombia! “As the Vice President of Colombia and Minister of Equality and Equity, I am pleased to announce that Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have kindly accepted my invitation to visit our beautiful country,” the Vice President of Colombia, Francia Márquez, said in a statement this morning.

During their time in Colombia, Harry and Meghan will visit Bogotá, Cartagena, and Cali with Márquez. “In these vibrant locations, they will have the exceptional opportunity to engage with leaders, youth, and women who embody the aspirations and voices of Colombians committed to progress,” she wrote. “In addition to these meaningful interactions, The Duke and Duchess will experience the rich heritage of Colombia.”

While no specific date has been shared yet, Prince Harry and Meghan’s visit will come before the first Global Ministerial Conference on Ending Violence Against Children, which will be held in Colombia this November. Therefore, their trip could take place anytime in the next three months.

Per Márquez, “The Archewell Foundation, founded by The Duke and Duchess, is renowned for its global leadership in fostering a safer online environment. The forthcoming conference will unveil a comprehensive framework for creating safer physical and digital spaces, tackling issues such as cyberbullying, online exploitation, and the mental health impacts of these threats. It will offer actionable solutions and commitments for countries around the world. During their visit, The Duke and Duchess, as well as The Archewell Foundation, will engage in several activities related to this important topic.”

She concluded, “We are confident that their visit will further illuminate Colombia’s role as a beacon of culture and innovation.”

This would mark Harry and Meghan’s third major international trip in 2024, after visiting British Columbia in February and Nigeria in May.

Meghan Markle Appears at Indianapolis Event in Support of Women’s Empowerment

Meghan Markle is continuing her work to empower women and young girls.

The Duchess of Sussex was the featured guest at Tuesday’s Women’s Fund of Central Indiana event at the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown. Billed as “The Power of Women: An Evening with Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex,” the benefit supported the Women’s Fund mission to invest in the lives of women and girls in the state.

Meghan participated in a moderated discussion with Rabbi Sandy Sasso, an acclaimed writer and community leader, as part of the sold-out event. Sasso is the first woman rabbi ordained by the Reconstructionist movement and previously served at Beth-El Zedeck in Indianapolis. The conversation focused on women’s empowerment and the importance of supporting young girls.

Ahead of the event, the organization wrote on its website, “Women’s Fund is proud to welcome Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, to Indianapolis. The Duchess is a mother, feminist and champion of human rights. She is a lifelong advocate for women and girls, a constant thread she weaves through humanitarian and business ventures.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to Receive the Ripple of Hope Award Honoring RFK’s Legacy

The Kennedys and the British royal family have a longstanding relationship dating all the way back to the 1930s, when Joe Kennedy Sr. was appointed the U.S. Ambassador to the UK. This fall, the connections between the two dynasties continue. In December, Prince William will honor the winners of this year’s Earthshot Prize at an awards ceremony in Boston hosted in partnership with the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation. Prince William has spoken many times on how JFK’s iconic moonshot inspired his climate initiative, the Earthshot Prize.

A few days later, William brother Prince Harry and his sister-in-law, Meghan Markle, will receive the Ripple of Hope Award from the nonpartisan, not-for-profit organization Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights, given “in recognition of their work on racial justice, mental health, and other social impact initiatives through their Archewell Foundation.”

“When The Duke and Duchess accepted our award laureate invitation back in March, we were thrilled. The couple has always stood out for their willingness to speak up and change the narrative on racial justice and mental health around the world,” Kerry Kennedy, president of Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights, and Robert F. Kennedy’s daughter, said in a statement shared today. “They embody the type of moral courage that my father once called the ‘one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world that yields most painfully to change.’”

Specifically, in the announcement of the Sussexes’ award, RFK Human Rights highlighted Archwell’s work on initiatives ranging from supporting Afghan refugees, to speaking out about mental health stigma, campaigning for paid parental leave, championing COVID vaccine access, collaborating with organizations on the ground in Ukraine, and working with the NAACP.

The Ripple of Hope Award Gala will be held in New York City on December 6, with the Sussexes honored alongside Frank Baker, Brian Moynihan, and Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Previous winners include Stacey Abrams, President Joe Biden, Bono, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former President Bill Clinton, George Clooney, Tim Cook, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Amanda Gorman, Vice President Kamala Harris, Dolores Huerta, Colin Kaepernick, late Congressman John Lewis, former President Barack Obama, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Desmond Tutu.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Are Heading Back to Work Tomorrow

It will mark Meghan’s first public appearance in more than 8 weeks.

At the end of 2019, the Sussexes took an extended, seven-weeks-long break from the public eye. Harry and Meghan skipped the royal family’s traditional winter visit to Sandringham, instead celebrating Christmas and the New Year privately, and traveling to Canada to spend time out of the spotlight with their 8-month-old son.

Little is known about their vacation aside from a sweet story about how Meghan helped to take a fan’s photograph on a hike, and one adorable photo of Archie, all bundled up in his father’s arms.

Now they are heading back to work, and their first public engagement will be a visit to Canada House in London tomorrow to thank Janice Charette, the High Commissioner in Canada to the U.K., and her staff for “the warm Canadian hospitality and support they received during their recent stay in Canada.”

While at Canada House, which is similar to what Americans might refer to as an embassy, Harry and Meghan will also take in a special exhibition by the Indigenous Canadian artist Skawennati and will meet with various members of the High Commission team who work to support the partnership between Canada and the U.K.

The royal couple seems to be returning to business as usual with this engagement, but it’s unclear if their approach to royal duty will shift in 2020. Harry and Meghan have spoken candidly about their struggles with the tabloid press, and are both currently pursuing lawsuits against separate media organizations. They also have big plans to launch Sussex Royal, their new charitable foundation, in the coming months.

November 07 – Field of Remembrance

On November 07, 2019 The Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey.

The Field of Remembrance is a memorial garden organised annually by the Poppy Factory in Westminster. For eight days, from the morning of the Thursday before Remembrance Sunday until the evening of the following Thursday, the lawn of St Margaret’s Church, Westminster, between Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament, is marked out with 250 plots for regimental and armed services associations.

Participants are able to buy a wooden token of remembrance (originally remembrance crosses, now a variety of shapes for different religions, including for ‘no faith’) decorated with a remembrance poppy. The token is generally marked with the name of a member of the armed forces who was killed in action and planted in the appropriate plot. The packed lines of remembrance symbols in the separate plots can resemble a temporary military cemetery. After the Field of Remembrance closes, the crosses are collected and burnt, and the ashes are scattered at the First World War battlefields in northern France and Belgium. Any money raised at the event is traditionally donated by The Poppy Factory to The Royal British Legion.

Prince Harry has attended the event for the past several years, this was Meghan’s first appearance at the event.

October 25 – Roundtable Discussion With The Queens Commonwealth Trust

On October 25, 2019 The Duchess of Sussex joined by Prince Harry attended a round table discussion on gender equality with the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust and One Young World at Windsor Castle.

Meghan is continuing her work with One Young World after attending the opening ceremony earlier in the week. This year One Young World partnered with the Queens Commonwealth Trust, of which The Duke and Duchess are President and Vice-President of to provide scholarships to young leaders driving positive social impact in the Commonwealth.

The Duchess said: “I think we’re all aware that One Young World has been very important to me for several years and now being vice president of QCTrust – it just felt like the perfect medley. What you’re all capable of doing independently is incredible but then when you work collectively, our intention today is to try to create somewhat of a task force to see what we can do within our communities and then use that knowledge to apply it to whatever is happening in all these other communities. In terms of gender equality, which is something I have championed for a long time, I think that conversation can’t happen without men being a part of it.”

The roundtable was led by Queens Commonwealth Trust chief executive Nicola Brentnall and moderated by One Young World counsellors, social media influencer Rossana Bee and Canada’s first openly gay Olympic gold medallist Mark Tewksbury.

The Duke and Duchess also heard from the founder of the south African organisation Motholung Network Against Women and Child Abuse, Lebogang Bogopane, about her personal experiences of familial domestic violence.

At the end of the meeting The Duchess said “I can’t wait for our update in three months to hear how you are all doing. Thank you for being an inspiration.”

And now, as parents, being here and speaking to all of you pulls at my heart strings in a way I could have never understood until I had a child of my own.”

Photos & Roundup: September 25 – Royal Visit South Africa – Day 3

ARCH MEETS ARCHIE: Day 3 of the Royal Tour had an exciting start as The Duke and Duchess of Sussex introduced their son five month old son Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor to Archbishop Desmond Tutu and his daughter, Thandeka Tutu-Gxashe. The Archbishop is a globally respected figure in the anti-apartheid movement, a champion of equality, and has spent his life battling injustice. Their Royal Highnesses joined The Archbishop and Thandeka at their Tutu and Leah Legacy Foundation in Capetown to learn more about the work of the foundation, which which contributes to the development of youth and leadership, facilitates discussions about social justice and common human purposes. Prince Harry previously met Archbishop Tutu during his 2015 tour of South Africa, when he presented him with an honor in recognition of his services to U.K. communities and international peace. Niclas Kjellstromn-Matseke, chairman of the Desmond and Leah Legacy Foundation said of the meeting: “Archbishop Tutu met the Queen and had a great relationship with her and here is her grandson,” he says. “This is a generational thing. This is a hand over from the elderly to the younger.”

During their visit the couple were given a tour of the foundation where displays marking the anti-apartheid clergyman’s life and work are held, and were presented with a large amount of gifts including framed photographs of Harry’s mom Diana meeting late President Nelson Mandela in 1997, (he even gave an extra for Harry to give to Prince William), children’s books written by the Archbishop (Children of God Storybook Bible and Desmond and the Mean Word), a children’s songbook). a book containing the work of anti-apartheid poet Patricia Schonstein and the Book of Joy, signed by the Archbishop and the Dalai Lama, and matching beaded bracelets handmade by members of Ikamva Labantu, which works in Cape Town focusing on early childhood development, after-school initiatives and the well-being of elder people.

WOMEN & BABIES: Since Meghan’s engagement to Prince Harry she has made it clear the her focus would be on supporting women’s education, health, entrepreneurship and leadership and this engagement clearly puts a spotlight on that. In her first solo engagement of this tour while Prince Harry travels to Botswana, The Duchess visited The Woodstock Exchange for a ‘Ladies who Launch’ event where she met female entrepreneurs and investors working in technology. Meghan joined a panel discussing a number of topics including their businesses, struggles and triumphs, women supporting women, and motherhood. As Meghan departed she shared a special moment with a group of individuals who she gave a group hug to and a young girl who cried upon meeting Meghan.

In her second solo engagement Duchess Meghan visited Mothers2Mothers, an organization that trains and employs women living with HIV as community health workers. These “Mentor Mothers” work in local communities and at understaffed health facilities to ensure that women and their families get the health advice and medication they need, are linked to the right clinical services, and are supported on their treatment journey. The employment enables Mentor Mothers to gain financial security for themselves and their families. By virtue of being professionalised, Mentor Mothers become role models, putting a face to empowered, strong, and healthy HIV-positive women, and thereby helping to reduce HIV-related stigma and discrimination.

During her visit The Duchess met with staff, clients, mothers and their children to hear about their work and how they have been supported. Following her “community not charity” motto The Duchess of Sussex donated two large bags of Archie’s clothing that he has outgrown as well as clothing donations from her friends who have children and coloring books, and pencils. Meghan said: “It’s so important we’re able to share what’s worked for our family and know that we’re all in this together with each other. So we wanted to share something from our home to each of yours.”

In South Africa, Meghan Markle Will Turn Her Attention to Women’s Empowerment

Meghan Markle was just 11 years old when she was so struck by sexist language in a TV commercial for dishwashing soap that she decided to campaign to have it changed. Despite being a schoolgirl with no public profile or connections, she was successful, and so began a lifetime commitment to standing up for gender equality and women’s rights.

It is no surprise, then, that these issues feature highly on the agenda for the Duchess of Sussex throughout the itinerary of her trip to South Africa, which begins later this month.

“Through her Patronages, the Duchess will be working with organisations to promote women’s education, health, entrepreneurship and leadership,” the Sussexes’ private secretary Samantha Cohen said as she announced details of the 10-day visit. She continued, sharing that the duchess is “particularly looking forward” to learning from “inspirational women in the region.”

The focus on women and girls begins right at the start of the visit in Cape Town on Monday September 23. Harry and Meghan will attend an event with a project that teaches children about their rights and provides self-defense classes and female empowerment training to young girls. Two days later, Meghan will make a solo visit to the Woodstock Exchange area, where she will meet with female entrepreneurs and investors working in technology. “Her Royal Highness will highlight the benefits of networking between aspiring female entrepreneurs and successful female role models,” Cohen said.

While Harry is in Angola, Meghan will remain in Cape Town and take part in a “Women in Public Service” breakfast at the High Commission. She will speak with women who have played a key role in the development of South Africa’s Parliament, government, education and healthcare systems, and those who advocate for gender equality. A few days later, in Johannesburg, the duchess will meet with academics and students, and discuss the challenges faced by young women in accessing higher education. After that, she will visit a school to see the work of a charity which receives U.K. aid funding for its mission to raise awareness of and tackle sexual violence in schools.

The issue of violence against women is particularly pertinent in South Africa right now. President Cyril Ramaphosa recently addressed the nation, saying: “Violence against women has become more than a national crisis. It is a crime against our common humanity.” And in September, people took to the streets to protest gender-based violence in protests following the rape and murder of 19-year-old university student Uyinene Mrwetyana.

In 2017, South Africa ranked 90th out of 160 countries on the United Nations Development Programme’s gender inequality inde, which measures the gender disparity within a country. The index takes into account reproductive health, parliamentary representation, attainment in education, and labor market participation.

The program for Harry and Meghan’s trip has been organized alongside the U.K.’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and the royals and their staff have worked closely with representatives in host countries to create the final itinerary.

As Samantha Cohen said, “Not only will this visit serve as an opportunity for the Duke and Duchess to highlight many of the causes they have been involved with for many years, it will demonstrate a modern UK-Africa partnership in action.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Africa royal tour itinerary and dates revealed

Buckingham Palace has revealed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s royal tour itinerary for their upcoming visit to Africa this autumn. Harry and Meghan, who will be accompanied by their baby son Archie, will undertake a ten-day tour from Monday 23 September to Wednesday 2 October. They will spend the first three days in Cape Town, South Africa before Harry travels to Kasane, Botswana alone for a one-day private working visit. Scroll down for tour itinerary.

The Duke will then resume the tour, which is being carried out at the request of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, in Angola. Harry will spend two days in Dirico, Huambo and Luanda. He will then travel to Malawi where he will be reunited with his wife Meghan and baby Archie. The couple will end their tour in Johannesburg, South Africa.

This will be Archie’s first long-haul tour abroad. The royal baby will only be four months old; in comparison, his cousin Prince George was eight months old when he joined the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in Australia and New Zealand in 2014. Archie is expected to make at least a couple of official appearances on tour, but the palace has not revealed when.

A royal source told HELLO!: “The couple hope to include Archie at some point in the programme, but it’s difficult to schedule. He’s five months old. But they hope to.” Another source told HELLO! the programme had been designed to allow the couple to be with Archie at bathtime and bedtime and for other key times in his routine. Because there isn’t an official arrival, the couple will first be seen in a township in Cape Town on day one of the tour. Archie won’t be there.

Meghan Markle Announces End of Maternity Leave with Her First Official Post-Baby Engagement!

The Duchess of Sussex will step out next Thursday to launch the capsule collection of women’s workwear she created with her designer friend Misha Nonoo

Meghan Markle is making her official return to royal duties after maternity leave!

The Duchess of Sussex will step out next Thursday, Sept. 12, to launch the capsule collection of women’s workwear she created with her designer friend Misha Nonoo.

The outing marks her first official work engagement since she and Prince Harry welcomed their first child, a son they named Archie Harrison, on May 6, making her return to royal duties just over four months after Archie’s birth.

The clothing line will benefit her patronage Smart Works, a charity that helps women find employment with coaching tips and professional attire for their job interviews. For every item bought during the sale of the collection, one will be donated to Smart Works.

“When you walk into a Smart Works space you’re met with racks of clothing and an array of bags and shoes,” Meghan wrote in the September issue of British Vogue, which she guest edited. “Sometimes, however, it can be a potpourri of mismatched sizes and colors, not always the right stylistic choices or range of sizes.”

“To help with this, I asked Marks & Spencer, John Lewis & Partners, Jigsaw and my friends, the designer Mischa Nonoo, if they were willing to design a capsule collection of more classic options for a workwear wardrobe,” she added. “Taking the idea further, many of the brands agreed to use the one-for-one model: for each item purchased by a customer, one is donated to the charity. Not only does this allow us to be part of each other’s story, it reminds us we are in it together.”

The royal mom shared the first glimpse of her project in a candid Instagram Story last month. In the video, which is set to the Bill Withers’ 1977 hit, “Lovely Day,” the Meghan surprises a group of women as they arrive to the collection’s photo shoot.

Meghan excitedly puts her hand to her face as the women come up the stairs to be greeted by the royal with a hug. She proceeds to help direct the shoot from the sidelines and even styles the women.

Dressed casually chic in skinny jeans, a blue-and-white striped collared shirt by sustainable British women’s shirt brand With Nothing Underneath and nude heels, Meghan is animated as she laughs and jokes around on set. At the end of the video, she excitedly claps in front of the camera.

Although Meghan has been mostly out of the spotlight since Archie’s arrival, she’s stayed very busy. In addition to her work as the guest editor of British Vogue and the capsule collection, Meghan made her first post-baby appearance at Trooping the Colour in June to celebrate Queen Elizabeth‘s birthday with the rest of the royal family on the Buckingham Palace balcony.

Meghan, 38, also made a surprise appearance alongside Harry when the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox faced off for the first-ever regular season MLB game in London, where the new parents were presented with some baseball-themed gifts for Archie.

Meghan’s summer also included Archie’s christening, outings to Wimbledon (including watching the women’s final with sister-in-law Kate Middleton and Kate’s sister, Pippa Middleton), a family outing to watch Prince William and Prince Harry play polo that marked Archie’s first public appearance and a “date night” with Harry to see The Lion King, where they met the film’s stars including Beyoncé.

Projects



‘Together: Our Community Kitchen’ Cookbook
After working with the women of Hubb Community Kitchen The Duchess of Sussex suggested the idea of a charity cookbook that celebrates the power of cooking to bring people together. Supported by The Royal Foundation and published by Penguin Random House companies, ‘Together: Our Community Kitchen’ showcases over 50 recipes from women whose community was affected by the Grenfell Tower fire. Since the Together cookbook has been published, it has sold 130,000 copies worldwide. The resulting funds means the kitchen has been completely refurbished and is now open seven days a week

 


Smart Works Charity Capsule Collection
After working quietly with Smart Works for over a year The Duchess became aware of the difficulty of matching up the perfect work attire due to a range of mismatched colors and sizing. It was revealed in July 2019 that Marks & Spencer, John Lewis & Partners, Jigsaw, and designer Misha Nonoo would team up together to design a capsule collection of work wear clothing for the underprivileged women trying to secure employment. They will follow the “one-for-one model” model where an item from the collection purchased is an item donated to the Smart Works Charity.
