Meanwhile, the Duchess of Sussex celebrated her milestone birthday on Wednesday by announcing her 40×40 initiative, encouraging people to commit at least 40 minutes of their time to support women going back to work.
“Because I’m turning 40, I’m asking 40 friends to donate 40 minutes of their time to help mentor a woman who is mobilizing back into the workforce,” Meghan said. “And I think if we all do it, and all commit 40 minutes to some act of service, we can create a ripple effect.”
The birthday announcement of her initiative came months after Prince Harry and Meghan spoke to Oprah Winfrey in an explosive March interview about their decision to step down from their royal duties amid intense media scrutiny and issues with the Royal family that took a toll on their mental health. Meghan explained that the media attacks had resulted in suicidal ideation while she was pregnant with the couple’s first child.
Despite that, Harry added that the experience helped him grasp a better understanding of the racist undertones of the attacks on his wife.
