On empowering women

It's really important that young women be reminded that their involvement matters and that their voice is heard. Even if it feels like it's small, it really can make an impact.

On being giving and helping others

Best-known for her role as Rachel Zane on the American legal drama series 'Suits', Markle has done plenty of charity work.

Global ambassador of international charity World Vision since 2016, she even came to India in January 2017 for World Vision Canada's 'Rise Up! Daughter of India' initiative.
