Making her first public appearance since her absence from King Charles III's coronation earlier this month, the Duchess of Sussex attended the foundation's 50th anniversary event in New York on Tuesday night.
Tonight, Prince Harry's wife is set to accept an award in the United States for her advocacy against racial inequity. Meghan Markle will be acknowledged as one of the most influential and powerful women globally, celebrated for her role as a feminist, champion of human rights and gender equity, and a prominent global role model.
In a ceremony hosted by activist Gloria Steinem, Meghan, as a devoted advocate, will be honored for her extensive efforts in empowering and advocating for the rights of women and girls worldwide. Joining her in receiving recognition will be LaTosha Brown, co-founder of the Black Lives Matter movement.
Both women will be commended as exceptional leaders who have achieved remarkable milestones and dedicated themselves tirelessly to advancing gender and racial equity on a national and global scale.
Kinsey Schofield, a royal expert and host of the To Di For Daily royal podcast, shared her perspective on the development, stating, "I can guarantee you that upon receiving this award, she will insist on being referred to as Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex."
Highlighting the irony, the expert added, "It's interesting that she is accepting a feminism award while demanding to be addressed by a title that is obtained solely through marriage to a duke."
Cristo Foufas, a host on TalkTV, also commented on the situation, saying, "This award recognizes feminist changemakers who have made significant strides for women. Meghan, marrying into a globally recognized family with a prince for a husband, is undoubtedly a unique representation of feminism, isn't she?"
