The Duchess of Sussex and Gloria Steinem filmed a conversation on the importance of voting and how all women “are linked, not ranked” for MAKERS Women which is a platform accelerating the women's movement through stories of real life experiences. The duo spoke about the importance of women, especially young women, who will vote in the upcoming election.
Gloria Steinem is a journalist, activist, and feminist icon. The clip was shared on the MAKERS Women Instagram account. "People forget how hard women like you and so many others before you fought for us to just be where we are right now," the Duchess says in the clip.

Great outfit! This look seems true to Meghan’s personal style. She looks relaxed and comfortable. I love the shoes. The third picture down is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteE.B.B.
Yes I agree! I too love the outfit and this look is what I have come to think of as her original style. Best of all...it's suits her beautifully!

Meghan porte une tenue qui lui convient fort bien. Superbe allure avec son pantalon blanc aux fines rayures noires et ses chaussures originales ; j'aime beaucoup également son chapeau !
ReplyDeleteHer outfit is lovely. Very laid back California style which suits her well. She seems happy and content.
ReplyDeleteLove the Duchess's outfit.
DeleteAs Elle said in her comment " very laid back Californian style"
The third photo is for their family album .
Is this their new house in the background?
The dogs look to be enjoying the outdoors.
I have the feeling this is what she loves the most, limelight. Very fidgety and staged
ReplyDeleteYes, so lets say only SWEET, NICE & LOVELY Things about Meghan. No Criticising. Her hair is Gorgeous, her outfit is the best ever.

Don‘t like the plain white T-Shirt combined with the trousers. And don‘t like the trousers combined with the sandals. All pieces taken for them alone are nice. But somehow they don‘t go well together. The outfit can‘t decide whether it is casual or formal. Scarlett Witch
ReplyDeleteVery authentic and very veautiful.
ReplyDeleteI thought this blog was about royal fashion. I am disappointed that this blog is becoming a political tribune from which Mrs Markle's political views are spreading (or should I say Mrs Mountbatten - Windsor?). She is running an election campaign in favor of a Democratic Party candidate.
ReplyDeleteI propose that we should only post events she appear on behalf of BRF and the queen... But I have a feeling there will be more of this til election day.
DeleteShe should drop her title and uses Mrs. Harry Albert David. She has already upset the UK enough
DeleteExactly right. She is just using people (or they her) to get ahead. Harry should have listened to EVERYONE who tried to warn him. Now he lives in a community property state. What a fool.
DeleteI agree with Anonymous 5:34. This blog is promoting Meghan Markle rebellion against the British royal family. And the so called " Sussex Squad" are not helping Meghan by their arrogant comments and personnal attacks against anyone who doesn't admire Meghan Markle. Prince Harry is being used by the Sussex Squad only for Meghan Markle tool of promotion. Poor Prince Harry. He has been isolated from his family by Meghan Markle and the Sussex squad who show any respect for the british people and the BRF as an institution. It's a pity and very deceitfull to know that some liberal women leaders like Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey and other american celebrities are encouraging Meghan Markle's arrogance towards the UK and the royal family as an institution.
DeleteMeghan looks amazing in the striped pants,this sandals are very beautiful and the hat makes her more natural and pretty!
ReplyDeleteLovely Shoes
ReplyDeleteOne of the terms of carrying the title Duchess is to not get involved in politics, cause it divides people.
Lets face it no journalist would come to your house for an interview if you were not a Duchess.
Jill
All we have seen, so far, is getting out the message to vote. Everybody and their uncle is promoting the message to vote. If she starts campaigning for a candidate, I will agree with you. Until then, I don’t think it is an issue.
DeleteAlong that line I doubt if GS would interview if there wasn't a duchess title either.
DeleteMeghan might not be naming names, but her choice in her messaging is clear. When she's advocating 'for the change we all need', her position is quite clear. As an American, she is well within her rights, to advocate for who ever she wants. The problem is, she's doing it whilst using a British Royal title. The BRF, do not and should not been seen to be favouring one party over another here in the UK, so it's disrespectful to be seen to be doing in another country ! Whilst she insists on using the title, she bound by the rules all royal adhere to. If finding absolute freedom is their ultimate goal, then they might be better served relinquishing the title ! Ana
DeleteIn the United States 'British Royal Titles' are invalid(The Constitution says so). T. She is exercising her right as an American citizen. 9:18 really? Not only historically uninformed, but making up new rules that even the BRF has never heard of. It is the people who report the news who add the title, The word Duchess does not appear in the pictures.
DeleteThe 'take away their titles' chant is nonsense. The Queen will not do it. Why even Uncle Andy gets to keep his title, and have the church bells rung for his birthday!
@ Jill Before meeting Harry, she spoke at the United Nations, and that is no small thing. None of us will get that opportunity. ...ever. Her reps are working to raise her profile for whatever her future plans are. Inviting Gloria S. seems to be part of it, and the lady looks like she came of her own free will.
In these communities, people regularly hold fundraisers in their homes for political candidates and are quietly active in politics. Do you really believe that the British aristocrats are not active in politics? Ana - 1776
Please correct me if I am wrong, but I thought both Charles and William reportedly snubbed Trump. At the reception, Anne didn’t greet Trump and gave the shrug we have all seen. I do know that both Charles and William met with Obama, and the photos appear very warm and friendly during these meetings. I think they all make their feelings known without saying a word.
DeleteNo, Trump was not snubbed by royal family. They will do their duty and support the Queen when she has to entertain foreign dignitaries. If I recall , Charles and Camill had Trump and his wife to tea. William and Catherine were at the State Dinner for him. And as for Anne, there was a lot of talk about that , but she did not snub Trump. She was waiting at the door with two aides where the reception was held. The Queen, standing in the receiving line, said out loud, "Who's next?" /Anne said, "It's just me," and shrugged and laughed. Anne then glanced at the people with her and joked, "and just this lot." Then Anne entered the room and joined the gathering. You can google this and find the real story and corrections. The royals personal view of a dignitary is not taken into account. They have their job to do and it's not their place to decide who they will greet and who they will not.
Deletein these photos she is very stylish, nice, nice, nice
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool, comfortable and pulled together outfit. It is perfect for sitting outside in the warm weather. The trousers have a men’s wear design, and are feminized by those killer shoes. Keeping the top simple and close fitting is best with the volume in the trousers. The top might be too simple for me, but not by much. I love her hat.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see Gloria Steinem in something other than black.
This black an white images they do all the time are so tiresome.
ReplyDeleteI don’t like it either, it distracts from listening to what they want to convey.
DeleteHer outfit looks good in the color photo, as does her makeup and hair.
Do you dismiss everything that happened before the late 60s, when color film was used regularly? It is nice to see the fashion in color, but I can’t say I am distracted by black and white. I watch old movies all the time.
DeleteI never said I dismissed anything in black and white. Only that I get distracted, English is not my native tongue, so perhaps the word I used is incorrect. I have no other word to explain what I meant though.
DeleteFashion wise she looks OK nothing exciting. What irks me is her hypocrisy.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean.
DeleteThank you. it will catch up with her
DeleteShe looks stylish, relaxed and quite wonderful. And omg....those shoes!
ReplyDelete- Anon 9:13
Although she does look nice, and so relaxed, she wants to have her cake and eat it too. She enjoys the perks and privileges of being a member of the royal family without being respectful of the limits placed on them.
ReplyDeleteOh, the shoes are to die for.
Please tell us what cake eating perks she wants to enjoy by being a royal living in a Republic.
Deletelol, Anon 5:19 Well said!!!
DeleteSome people have no clue what they're talking about.
- Anon 9:13
Oh, if the cake eating perks are "Brownies" could the Duchess let us have the recipe :-)).
DeleteLove the entire ensemble, it reminds me of something Lauren Bacall would have worn in one of her movies, masculine pants softened with very feminine shoes, and casual top , perfect for an outdoors get together. Faithful to her clean style, neutral colors and simple lines, I don’t think I have ever seen her on florals, ruffles or over embellished outfits.
ReplyDeleteLovely!!
She looks happy and relaxed.
ReplyDeleteUn peu de discrétion serait de mise. Je croyais ....qu'ils avaient quitté la GB pour cela.
ReplyDeleteExactement!
DeleteExactly my thoughts...
DeleteI feel for Harry.

ReplyDeleteIt looks like your expletives and foul language are your words and a clear reflection of who you are, not of the person that you are insulting.
DeleteWe tell our children to use their words, good words to make themselves understood, and here you are. This is not my blog , but as a reader and supporter of this little site, I really would like to keep it clean and respectful. I hope that Ms Electra deletes such vulgarity.
Sadly you are a prime example of everything that is wrong nowadays.
@AnnaB: You are the only one who is creating her as a Hollywood diva ("In my eyes..") and then criticizing her for something that you have made her out to be. Sort of like an elephant telling a mouse that it is a terrible looking elephant and to stop behaving like an elephant and just be a mouse.
DeleteYour bias stinks, your conjecture shocking, and as for your language on a public forum...shame on you.

Very nice outfit, simply cool and elegant.

Dear editor, please spare us with this.
ReplyDelete@ NC Citizen- 6,52 p.m
ReplyDeleteI couldn' t agree more.
I think most of you can get a nicer outfit less than $ 1000. Really, living in a mansion , wearing things costing hundreds of dollars, travel by private planes and expensive SUV and pontificate to the masses about voting and feminism . I wonder what could possibly go wrong with that picture. The disconnect is astounding.
ReplyDeleteDo these rules only apply to Meghan, and if so, why? The entire family dresses in high end clothes. Oftentimes I have thought to myself that they have thrown away good money on ugly clothes, and very rarely do we see affordable clothes. I also wonder why Kate has worn such expensive gemstone earrings to certain visits. I haven’t said anything about it here, but does cross my mind. The cost of the other royals clothes are never as big an issue as Meghan’s are. Why is that? Meghan wears more discreet jewelry than anyone else, yet her gold bracelet got more space than any jewelry in recent memory. Bringing up living in a mansion? They all live in large homes. All. Of. Them. Why is this an issue? This family has Buckingham Palace. They have castles. The list goes on. Where is the outrage about that? Everyone one of them own/ride in SUVs and have other luxury cars. Why single out Harry and Meghan? The Queen travels by Rolls. Does that outrage you? There is a tremendous obsession about flying in private planes. I don’t know how many times it happened in total, but they have all done it, (not to mention the private yacht use in the past). I do not like the message of saving the environment, then flying chartered in planes. It is hypocritical. I do maintain just by living where they are now, they are doing more than most for the environment. Telling people to vote is something that needs to be done. Too many people are squandering their right to vote. If she comes out and names candidates by name, I will have a problem because I don’t like anyone doing it, no matter who they are. I can think for myself. I am not sure why feminism bothers you so much. Women are not treated equally, and it is worse in some places in the world. Men need to get the message that women can’t be treated less than any more. In a way, the Queen could be considered the original feminist. She has been reigning longer than any other woman, and her husband has always had to walk behind HER. We all know how much he enjoyed that. I would argue no man could have done a better job as monarch during Elizabeth II’s reign.
DeleteLet’s be fair and equal when dishing out the criticism. If it is good for one, it should be good for all.
@Anonymous 5:44AM
DeleteThank you. I don't understand how people don't see the hypocrisy and double standards.
Who cares
ReplyDeleteObviously you, since you are reading and responding.....
DeleteSo... because people have money they don’t think voting is important? Or they can’t have views about empowering women? Well, I have a little secret to tell you, most politicians have money, lots of it, and they are surely interested about voting.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nonsensical comment.
Interesting. Talk about linked not ranked yet holding on to a title for dear life and
ReplyDeleteflashes it with every chance. Somehow I have a feeling she wants it both ways.
The title has to be given or revoked by the Queen...as a royal crusader, this is rule number one. Please revisit your handbook. In fact she does have it both ways. No title in the US. Title in GB. The year of review that the queen herself put in place is not over. The queen does not rely on outside help to make family decisions. Ana1
DeleteAna 1, some people here really believe that the queen reads these blogs...the same ones that go around pontificating about royal issues and made up protocols. They also think that they know everything that goes on inside this family. They continually trash them because they want MM & Harry to continue living a life that these readers feel entitled to choose for them, they want to see pictures of Archie, they are starving for a morsel of their private lives, and since this couple have decided to take the wheel and share what they want to, they have to relay on the tabloids.... pathetic!
ReplyDeleteSF
@10:34. The best part is that they are being given a lesson in the meaning of privacy. The difference between public/working life for viewing and private life that belongs to them alone.
DeleteSeems odd for an adult to drag about friendship with a well known figure for a whole month. Desperate much name dropping.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn' t define her stylish.
ReplyDeleteSingle pieces of her outfit can work well separately ,but I do not like them together.
She does!
