Meghan Markle is celebrating women.
The Duchess of Sussex stepped out in New York City on Tuesday nighttime accompanied through two extraordinary friends — her husband, Prince Harry, and her mother, Doria Ragland — for the Ms. Foundation 2023 Women of Vision Awards: Celebrating Generations of Progress & Power. Meghan, 41, was honored as one of this year's Woman of Vision Award honorees for her world advocacy to empower ladies and girls.
The event reunited Meghan with her buddy Gloria Steinem, Co-Founding Mother of the Ms. Foundation, who presented her with the award.
During her acceptance speech, Meghan thanked Steinem "for the inspiration that you are, for your mentorship, your sage advice, your relatively cheeky sense of humor and for your exceptional friendship."
Meghan spoke of the mark left on her via Ms. journal when she was once a younger child.
"As a young girl, I would come home, I'd settle in after a day of school, pull up my TV tray with dinner and I would flip on my night ritual: Jeopardy! And I'd look at the espresso table, the place I'd see an array of things: it ought to be the cat's collar, my homework, some mail that had just been introduced in — and some magazines," the Duchess of Sussex said. "The magazines stated Ms. on them."
"I be mindful them vividly because the photographs have been different. There was once diversity that I hadn't viewed as often, each of color and of age and the names have been different," Meghan continued. "There had been congresswomen, there were astronauts and the subjects have been specific — from mothering to being a working mom to heavier topics such as domestic violence, the poverty line, unearthing its roots, the place it comes from and matters of equity."
"I was too younger at the time to know what most of it meant," Meghan said, including that notwithstanding that, "the value of these magazines was important."
Her mom, Meghan said, "had a subscription and having these pages in our home, it signaled to me that there was once just so a whole lot more than the dolled-up covers and the images that you would see on the grocery save covers."
The presence of Ms., Meghan said, was once formative for her.
"When I mirror on the time in my life, when I was young, the imprints that had been etched in my mind, I can now join the dots in a lots higher way to recognize how I grew to become a younger feminist and developed into a grown activist," Meghan said.
Meghan and Steinem, 89, joined forces in 2020 to have a "backyard chat" about the importance of voting. Later that year, Meghan "came over to the little farmhouse" where Steinem was once staying, and they cold-called voters together from her dining room table.
Last year, the pair had been seen collectively leaving a lunch date in New York after Meghan joined her husband Prince Harry as he gave an tackle at the United Nations in honor of Nelson Mandela Day.
