She’s eight months pregnant, but that didn’t stop Meghan Markle from stepping out to celebrate International Women’s Day. The Duchess of Sussex, looking radiant as ever, chose a stunning pair of heels and a chic black-and-white dress for her appearance at King’s College London on Friday, March 8. Her presence wasn’t just about looking good; it was about celebrating female empowerment. During an engaging panel discussion with other inspiring female activists, Meghan opened up about her plans for the special day.
As the event was wrapping up, Anne McElvoy, Senior Editor of The Economist, took a moment to compliment Meghan on her stylish footwear. "You’re still treating yourself to some rather fabulous shoes," Anne remarked, and Meghan, always gracious, responded with a warm "Thank you!" But that wasn’t all. With a touch of humor, she glanced down at her heels and quipped, "I’ll put my feet up because that’s a deserved treat, especially in this stage of pregnancy!" It was a light-hearted moment that reminded everyone of her down-to-earth charm.
Why International Women's Day Holds Special Meaning for Meghan
Beyond her choice of footwear, Meghan took a moment to reflect on the significance of International Women’s Day. "I think the real treat in and of itself is being able to be here — that is such a gift on this day," she expressed thoughtfully. "And then separate from that, there are the women in my life that I want to celebrate with and send some love to today. But also, let’s not forget the men who are championing all of us as part of this journey." Her words highlighted the importance of unity and support across genders in the fight for equality.

The Broader Impact of Educating Girls
Meghan didn’t stop there. She went on to emphasize the importance of including boys in the conversation about gender equality. "It would be impossible to not have boys as part of this conversation," she stated. "Imagine the courage it takes for a young girl in a small village, where most girls haven’t gone to school, to reach out and do whatever she can, walking miles just to get an education." Her words carried a powerful message: educating girls isn’t just about creating smart girls; it’s about nurturing influential women who can change the world for the better. It’s a vision that resonates deeply with many, and one that Meghan clearly champions wholeheartedly.
