Meghan Markle has always been big on issues that concern women and girls. And it turns out, Prince Harry is a bit of a feminist himself. Earlier in January while visiting Cardiff, Wales, Meghan confirmed this.

After 23-year-old Jessica Phillips told Meghan she admired her passion for women’s rights and feminism, Meghan replied, “He’s a feminist too, so there’s that.” And she was referring to Prince Harry.

Young girls should study science

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle visited Millennium Point in Birmingham on International Women’s Day last week. They met with young girls, many of whom were interested in pursuing a career in the sciences.
