She might be getting ready for the arrival of her first child [1], but Meghan Markle [2] has no plans to slow down the pace of her royal engagements. Following her Moroccan tour [3] with Prince Harry, she also attended a reception to honor Prince Charles [4], as well as making a surprise appearance at Prince Harry's WE Day event [5]. On Friday, the duchess joined a panel discussion at King's College London convened by the Queen's Commonwealth Trust [6] (which Meghan recently became vice president [7] of) to celebrate International Women's Day and discuss the importance of it, spotlighting issues that still affect women across the world.
The event brought together a group of female activists and thought leaders to discuss issues affecting women today. Meghan was in great company, as panelists included Annie Lennox, founder of The Circle NGO; Adwoa Aboah, founder of Gurls Talk; Julia Gillard, chair of the Global Institute for Women's Leadership; Chrisann Jarrett, founder of Let Us Learn; and Angeline Murimirwa, executive director of the Campaign For Female Education.
