Meghan Markle Made Girls Feel 'Heard' & 'Inspired' During Visit To Feminist Group In Canada

Meghan Markle returned to a local feminist climate change group in Vancouver, where she engaged in a heartfelt conversation centered on the crucial issues of women's leadership and poverty in Canada.

The Duchess of Sussex wore silk wide-leg trousers with a jumper and opted for low-key, natural makeup as she chatted away with women at the foundation.

She recently made headlines for divulging her and Prince Harry's holiday tradition along with their kids. Meghan has also intensified speculations about a potential return to Hollywood as a producer.

The former actress spent time with members of the Vancouver-based Justice for Girls group, exchanging ideas on topics bordering on the girl child, "young women's leadership," and "justice and equality for teen girls living in poverty in Canada."

Meghan, who's currently in Canada alongside Prince Harry to promote the next Invictus Games, wore a £1,349 Ralph Lauren Charmain Silk Wide-Leg trousers and a white jumper and paired it with her Edge of Ember 'Wave' Earrings. She adorned herself with delicate jewelry and kept her makeup naturally low-key.

The Duchess of Sussex, who has been a vocal supporter of gender equality, notably inspired the girls as she engaged in conversations about their struggles for justice. She had previously visited the charity in 2020 when she and Prince Harry left their royal duties.

In a statement released after the meeting, the Justice for Girls group took to Instagram to express their gratitude for her support and involvement in their initiatives. 

They noted the value of having a high-profile figure like her engage in conversations that bring attention to pressing social issues.

"Justice for Girls was delighted to have a return visit from Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex," the statement began, per the Daily Mail. "Joined by Jessica Lake and Lauri Thompson from the Lake family's All One Fund, we had an engaging and heartfelt conversation about justice and equality for teen girls living in poverty in Canada and around the world."

They went on, "Together with our teen interns, staff, directors, and board members, we talked about Justice for Girls' decades of work advocating for girls' access to education, freedom from violence, Indigenous rights, and environmental justice."

"A highlight of our conversation was the focus on girls' and young women's leadership," the group shared, adding that Meghan spoke with two of their members on their "personal struggles for justice."

"Her genuine and understanding approach left the girls feeling heard, supported, and inspired," the post concluded.

According to People magazine, the former royals were recently seen enjoying a game night between Vancouver Canucks and San Jose Sharks as their time in Canada progresses, per People. 

For the game, they embraced the Canadian winter spirit and were draped in long coats as they watched on from their box seats. 

Just as the game was about to start, the Duke of Sussex took to the ice and made the ceremonial first puck drop. It comes 21 years after his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, made the ceremonial puck in a game between the same opponents to commemorate her golden jubilee at the time.

Photos obtained by the news outlet showed fans were delighted to see the Duke and Duchess cheering on from the stands as they showcased their enthusiasm for the fast-paced action on the ice.

It comes after the "Suits" alum graced Variety's Power of Women event recently and intensified speculations that she may be considering returning to Hollywood as a producer after she was seen chatting with senior female movie executives.

The former actress was in the company of two big names in the movie industry, including American producer Janet Yang, who is a long-time friend of director Steven Spielberg and current president of the organization in charge of the Oscars.

She was also seen chatting with Pearlena Igbokwe, current chairman of Universal Studio Group, a division of NBC Universal that controls Universal Television, Universal Content Productions (UCP), Universal Television Alternative Studios, and Universal International Studios.
