It's almost sad that people only know about her because of who she's dating. She deserves to be known for her advocacy, for her strong will, and for her strong voice.

Bravo👏👏did you hear that; girls with dreams become women with vision🙌👏Merghan

"from women all over america, to people all over america are fighting greasy pots and pans'' - impact on a level that i can only dream of!

It’s always so lacking in practical underpinning. Just big hollow vocabulary. She’s hollow.

All my respect to you Meghan I love your drive woman are equal

I am impressed! I looked this video up to see how well she spoke and I was pleasantly surprised. She will make a good advocate for Harry. “ Girls with dreams become women of vision” Brilliant.

For all the folks OBSESSED with the length of the Duchess dress, you were searching to find some fault, so her dress was short, this is not the 18th century She dress for comfort, if you were listening to her words instead of staring at her legs that would benefit some of you on this feed, Ready to pass judgment and some of you can't even spell or write proper grammar. HM keeps elevating the Duchess what does that tells you??

Interesting how it was her father who encouraged her to write letters.

She's so comfortable and confident. I see why Harry loves her so much.

You can see her chest turning red as she’s telling the story...look at the difference from when she starts to when she finishes. That’s true passion right there

The magnitude of MY actions...says it all.

Wow she acknowledged her father for encouraging her as an 11 year old to stand up for what she believed in, he encouraged her to write a letter ...... well done Dad.

Wow she's good! She was word and timing perfect, made no errors, and gave the entire speech without looking at anything.

It's hilarious how many people get upset over the most unlikely outsider (American, Divorcee, Bi-racial, etc) marrying into the royal family and with such amazing credentials + a very impressive resumé. They can't stand that she has a mind of her own and isn't some quiet little wallflower. Clearly, they'd much rather she be put in a box and stripped of her personality.

I still think this amazing lady is more comfortable in her own shoes than in Harry's. She is greater and more powerful on her own terms than on those of the royal family. That said I hope they relish her value and give her an open non restricted platform b'se her greatness should not be limited but rather utilized even for their own benefit.

Wow. I never knew Meghan was such an eloquent speeker! What an amazing speech! I am proud to be a feminist. 😍❤️

After watching Meghan Markle's speech, I understood why Prince Harry fell in love with her. If I were him, I would do the same thing.

Wow!!!! What stage presence. The Royal Family is smart enough to recognize the potential in her. This girl is going places.

This is what change is. I've waited for this day to come. P&G is an org that listens... My respect 4 M is frm what she did @ age 11... Some1 @ 11 could make a national change should b respected. With H, a consistent guy that wen u watch his young interview videos made it clear he wants out of UK... H&M path? May God help & protect them on this global stage...

I am an Ethiopian and I like the though about woman. In my family there are six of us and all weman. We are very clever and creative in our own way. Thank you for the words.

One of the best speakers in the royal family

Bravo o you Megan. The first time I saw you (on suits), you appeared so special. I wondered what and believe me, you made me watch it and inspired to become a lawyer more. I had been struggling since my childhood with brothers telling me to 'stay at home and do not do this and that because it's of man's. They treated me like a lesbian because I do most of the boys...but deep inside of me was just fighting for gender equality. I then joined cadet training in high school and ROTC in College. Guess what, I am their only sibling (no. 8 of 10 siblings) who first finish college (5years course with reserve officer training on the side for 4 years in that 5 years in College. I was so small and short so I had less chance to be active in Military. My siblings are really of good height and strong bodied but they had no interest in Military.I am the only one. And the only one who hit college even when I know I had no money. Because back then I believe in doing the 1st step. I was never afraid even when I almost had no food to eat. I am now in Canada and life is still starting....

She says "me" 54 times 😂😂😂this is why she was replaced

Talia, totally agree with you!!!

The best princes ever full of dreams she is so pretty,the prince made a good choice,my support and prayers to you.

Such a good speech! And such a great speaker, not reading from a piece of paper, but sharing and communicating with the audience. I admire this woman so much and I am so happy to see her participate in a cause like this. Well done & thank you for sharing!

Why is the story all about her and her feelings? And why omit that it was a project for the whole class?

This great lady doing great things. She started making her voice heard from the tender age of 11yrs. What a tremendous and arduous journey she embarked on to make our voices as women be heard. She is a royal by birth because it doesn’t take royal blood to do royal stuffs to humanity. Here now she is praising her father without knowing that he will be her worst nightmare in the mitts of all the bullying she has been subjected to in the hands of the British tabloids journalists and media. Me you are one of us and we admire you for that. Keep your head up and keep going for we have your back, 👌

Wow, the royal family must be wondering what the heck they are in for, with this new relationship of Meghan and Harry - two very energetic idealists/activists. Look out world!!!! Hopefully, together, they will be able to motivate a lot of change for the good of our world, but also keep their relationship as their priority.

I can see why Harry loves her. She is quite remarkable.

5:55 Is she breaking out into hives? Her skin is turning red across her chest and neck.

7:30 “We need more men like my father.” This woman will go which wherever way the wind blows 🤥🐍🤥🤦🏻‍♀️🤢🤮🙄😨🤔🫣😱😱😱😱😱😱 Knowing what we know now about her betrayal of her father, how honest was this speech?🙄

What a heart touching speech. I noticed she got so emotional while telling her story, that the area around her neck turned red. She is a truly beautiful woman. I have never seen someone more expressive than her. 👏👏

Splendid! Mehgan! SPLENDID! No wonder Prince Harry love her.

Anyone notices how her chest becomes flushed in red spots as the speech progresses?

wooooow. I loved this channel. I understood the full speech she delivered.

A true speech from her heart and experience. Not from any paper..... She is admiring...... Ur power is contagious

SHE would be the fresh air to the royal family. Hard working, genuinely caring, has intellect and actually using it.

I totally changed my opinion about her after watching this> I am deeply touched and I will be a female activist

Wow what a speech ! Please use your Royal position to speak for equality for women ! Instead of the all the rules that are stopping you now ! Thank you !

Wow, she got really red. Very inspiring speech though. You can tell she feels passionate about this.

And yes she is perfectly correct about women need to be involved in policy making. because after these laws are implemented we are the one thrown in the mist going around like a WASHER trying to sort things out!!!

So sad she talks so nicely about her father and all this drama is going on now :(

Inspirational. I can tell she will be a great role model for young woman in the UK.

Intelligent young lady and great public speaking skills!! I am proud of her and the achievements she has made in her young life and its only the beginning!! Bravo MM 👏👏

When Meghan sees injustice she wants to remove it asap. No matter where & when and who is involved ... . even if it means to take the entire palace apart ... . :-) she is a leader and therefore does not fit into the side role within a palace

Thursday 19 July 2018, Dear Meghan, I write this letter in good faith that you will read this, being inspired by your eleven year old self. I believe that you are a genuinely, respectful and intelligent person. You are an amazing woman in your own right, and now a Duchess. I hope you will achieve all your dreams and reach billions of poor people from your new platform as a member of the Royal Family with your beloved husband Harry there to support you, and support Each other. I hope your Daddy comes to His senses and stops talking to the press for money, so that you can reconcile with Your Daddy! I am grateful for your mother Doria she’s a respectable woman and admired by everyone in the world, Doria raised you very well Meghan. In the wonderful name of Jesus Christ our Lord, I wish you the very, very best. I look forward to seeing you mother all of you and Harry’s delightful children. Much Love, Louise 😘❤️😘🙏🏽💕

The irony of her marrying into the Royals after listening to ger strong sense of feminism.. Because for them position and title is how they make their livelihood. She will definately be a game changer.

This is why prince harry strike his feelings to meghan. She's absolutely brain and beauty..!

She is so very awesome. Harry made the very right decision. Cheers

I am so touched and amazed how she defined so much of what is everything and changed so much of all of what is this and figured how to make what from that and this to what and until unto and what until then and until came to come and let go until is let free and let know whats until and its AMAZING YES ....mobilize and LEAD!!! Go and do ! !!!! GO GIRL STRIVE AND LIVE AND THRIVE !!!!

What a gal ! Great story. I am jealous of Harry. The British Royal family already benefits more from her than the other way found.

Your are an Angel God bless you and keep safe with Prince Harry. FOREVER

She memorized that whole speech and said it flawless, thank you Harry for finding our diamond in the rough, without Harry who knows how long it would have taken for her to be known, respected, and loved worldwide, it would have come, but Harry found her first

Beautiful inside and out. Witty and self-empowered. The prince is so lucky to find someone like her. 💕

I see why he married her! Congratulations Princess ✨✨♥️

Good one Meghan! Thank you from Australia.

Wow! She gave such a powerful speech from the heart, while giving credit to those who inspired her. There is no room for hate in her life...always going forward. Yes, Harry, the Royal family, there is a global interest there for Meghan to diplomatcally and royally carry on with the mission for the equality of women and equality for all. Thank you Your Royal Highness.

KUDOS TO HER ROYAL HIGHNESS, THE DUCHESS OF SUSSEX, MEGHAN MARKLE.

Who's here after hearing about her engagement to Prince Harry?

How could you not love this woman?! Bless her

I love you my Princess Maghan. Take care of our Prince Harry. Your A Strong Woman!

WORD SALAD

It's sad that she can't give speeches like that as a Royal.

Great choice Harry! Diana would have been proud

My Princess !!! 💝💝💝💝

She was very confident person 👍🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

now this is how kate middleton needs to talk.no stuttering and repetition of words worst yet reading from paper .

Her smile is downright contagious

When I was just eleven years old, I unknowingly and somehow accidentally became a female advocate. It was around the same time as the Beijing conference, so a little over twenty years ago, where in my hometown of Los Angeles a pivotal moment reshaped my notion of what is possible. See, I had been in school watching a TV show in elementary school, and this commercial came on with the tagline for this dishwashing liquid and the tagline said, ‘Women all over America are fighting greasy pots and pans.’ Two boys from my class said, ‘Yeah, that’s where women belong, in the kitchen.’I remember feeling shocked and angry and also just feeling so hurt; it just wasn’t right, and something needed to be done. So I went home and told my dad what had happened, and he encouraged me to write letters, so I did, to the most powerful people I could think of. Now my eleven-year-old self worked out that if I really wanted someone to hear me, well then I should write a letter to the First Lady. So off I went, scribbling away to our First Lady at the time, Hillary Clinton. I also put pen to paper and I wrote a letter to my news source at the time, Linda Ellerbee, who hosted a kids news program, and then to powerhouse attorney Gloria Allred, because even at eleven I wanted to cover all my bases. Finally I wrote to the soap manufacturer. And a few weeks went by and to my surprise I received letters of encouragement from Hillary Clinton, from Linda Ellerbee, and from Gloria Allred. It was amazing. The kids news show, they sent a camera crew to my home to cover the story, and it was roughly a month later when the soap manufacturer, Procter & Gamble, changed the commercial for their Ivory Clear dishwashing liquid. They changed it from ‘Women all over America are fighting greasy pots and pans’ to ‘People all over America’. It was at that moment that I realized the magnitude of my actions. At the age of eleven I had created my small level of impact by standing up for equality. Now, equality means that President Paul Kagame of Rwanda, whose country I recently visited as part of my learning mission with UN Women, it means that he is equal to the little girl in the Gihembe refugee camp who is dreaming about being president one day. Equality means that UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is equal to the young intern at the UN who is dreaming about shaking his hand. It means that a wife, it means that a wife is equal to her husband; a sister to her brother. Not better, not worse - they are equal. UN Women, as you guys know, has defined the year 2030 as the expiration date for gender inequality. And here’s what’s staggering: the studies show that at the current rate, the elimination of gender inequality won’t be possible until 2095. That’s another eighty years from now. And when it comes to women’s political participation and leadership the percentage of female parliamentarians globally has only increased by 11 per cent since 1995. Eleven per cent in twenty years? Come on. This has to change. Women make up more than half of the world’s population and potential, so it is neither just nor practical for their voices, for our voices, to go unheard at the highest levels of decision-making. The way that we change that, in my opinion, is to mobilize girls and women to see their value as leaders, and to support them in these efforts. To have leaders such as President Kagame of Rwanda continue to be a role model of a country which has a parliamentary system comprised of 64 per cent female leaders. I mean, it’s the highest of any government in the world and it’s unbelievable. We need more men like that, just as we need more men like my father who championed my eleven-year-old self to stand up for what is right. In doing this, we remind girls that their small voices are, in fact, not small at all, and that they can effect change. In doing this, we remind women that their involvement matters. That they need to become active in their communities, in their local governments, as well as in the highest parliamentary positions. It is just imperative: women need a seat at the table, they need an invitation to be seated there, and in some cases, where this is not available, well then, you know what, they need to create their own table. We need a global understanding that we cannot implement change effectively without women’s political participation. It is said that girls with dreams become women with vision. May we empower each other to carry out such vision - because it isn’t enough to simply talk about equality. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to simply believe in it. One must work at it. Let us work at it. Together. Starting now.

She’s beautiful has so much passion for what is right. 🙏to come to terms with Harry’s family. Forgive and be forgiven. Heal. And go do the work globally that your heart has always been passionate about. Your children and your husband you will all make a great team. God bless you. I loved your character you on suits;) You we’re fabulous.

All without reading notes...its easy to see why the queen has taken to her...what a fantastic Roll model

I was in awe of this great lady, she is an amazing and confident woman , a role model for every woman. Aren't she very eloquent for the things she believes in? I believed she is more than eloquent but she is very practical and down to earth on things she believed in. She is been a hidden asset to the human race, and shall be more to her new family and role. Wishing the new duke and duchess of Sussex a very blessed and happy married life together.

her uncle got her that position. He was in the us diplomatic corp

She’s got that something extremely attractive about her. She’s got that extra charm. Not just her beauty.

i can only say “ what a great dad and first lady you had “

Her passion is refreshing. I think she will shake things up over their in the palace.

Its sad that she can't have such a powerful speech ever again. Now Royal family controls her and what/how she can say to people.

Who will not love this kinda woman ???

Smart and beautiful.

I wasn't sure who Prince Harry was marrying. I hadn't heard of the name. I happened to see this video and said, she looks like the one who just got engaged. Looked her up and sure enough. After seeing this and knowing she is a humanitarian, Princess Diana would be very proud!

Woman are strong but , a sensitive thing , and unless woman become WOMAN of line , with boundaries and stick to thier guns , and ask not who do you want me to be but , rather ask *who do I want to be * woman will not become Woman of this Age and era . Dutchess of SUSSEX You have opened up that path ! Hail to the Queen !

I keep listening. Meghan, you are ncredibly inspiring ❤❤❤

Beauty and the Brains..

Honestly, if Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, Markle wanted to run for President of the United States, I would vote for her. Not only would I vote for her, I would absolutely campaign for as a fellow Los Angeles ambassador & peer advocate. When you're from our parts, you know good media, visibility & optics. I want to see more & more women using their influence & power to shape the future of America. #PowertothePolls #USOW2018

Oh Yah! She is a speaker. England is bless with good future King & Queen too.

Very well said, Women need to see theirs values and be supported for their effort.

WOW what an inspiring speech Meghan has definitely found her calling. So much respect for her

This woman is amazing!! Its a pity that the British press want to kill her voice. I love the concept of building your own table.

I love Princess Megan

She is a fresh breath of air...

She worked hard to where she is now, used her brain and charisma to have powerful friends. Can you blame her for having intelligence like her? Blame God...

I knew of her before he came along. AND BECAUSE OF THE UN

Wow!!!thank you for being one of the voices of women...

Well said , I support women empowerment! She will be and asset to the B R family,

Am sure the royal family looked at this - she has no cue cards - it says a lot

Beautiful speech Duchess Meghan ...You are an inspiration for women 👍💑❤️🤰🏻❤️ Lots of luck for you and HARRY’S ❤️

Yes. She very beautiful. I agree a wife and a husband must be equal.

Can't wait for her future royal engagement she is a good speaker
