Prince Harry is a feminist.
The 33-year-old royal has been praised for standing up for women’s rights and promoting feminism by his fiancée Meghan Markle, who listed his views on equality as one of the many reasons she loves the flame-haired Prince.
During her visit to Cardiff alongside the Prince on Thursday (18.01.18), Meghan told royal fan Jessica Phillips: "He’s a feminist too, so there’s that."
Speaking after meeting the former ‘Suits’ actress, Jessica recalled how "lovely" the beauty was to talk to.
The 23-year-old fan said: "She was so lovely. I said it was really lovely to have a feminist in the royal family, and she said Harry is a feminist too."
Meghan has often been vocal about her stance as a feminist, and has previously worked as the ambassador for United Nations Women, as well as with organisations such as One World Vision, where she learned about the challenges women and girls living in Dubai and Mumbai.
More recently, during a visit alongside Harry to a radio station in London earlier this month, a discussion with the DJ turned to the topic of feminism, and Harry refused to answer, letting Meghan speak instead.
When station manager Adrian Newman told the prince that they had a question for him, Harry said: "She answers the questions!"
To which Meghan smiled as she quipped: "Yes, talking of gender equality!"
Meghan, 36, stepped down from her roles within the United Nations, World Vision Canada, and One Young World when she became engaged to Prince Harry, but insisted she didn’t see the move – which also see her quit working as an actress – as "giving up".
When asked about her decision to give up acting, Meghan said: "I don’t see it as giving anything up. I just see it as a change."
Meghan will tie the knot with Prince Harry on May 19 next year, at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.
