Meghan Markle debuted a special necklace in honor of her baby girl on the way.
On Saturday, the Duchess of Sussex, who is anticipating her second kid with spouse Prince Harry this summer, given a virtual speech for the Global Citizen’s VAX Live: The Concert to Reunite the World.
During her speech, Meghan, 39, talked about the joy the couple feel “to soon be welcoming a daughter” — and how important it is for people in the future generations to be given equal access to the COVID vaccine.
For her speech, Meghan wore an amazing piece of jewelry: Awe Inspired’s “Women Power Charm Necklace.” The gold neckband features a pendant with the symbol for female close by of a raised clench hand.
“We’ve gathered tonight because the road ahead is getting brighter. But it’s going to take every one of us to find our way forward. As campaign chairs of Vax Live, my husband and I believe it’s critical that our recovery prioritizes the health, safety and success of everyone, particularly women who have been disproportionately affected by this pandemic,” Meghan said during her speech.
“Women, and especially women of color, have seen a generation of economic gain wiped out,” she continued. “Since the pandemic began, nearly five-and-a-half million women have lost work in the U.S. And 47 million more women around the world are expected to slip into extreme poverty.”
Meghan proceeded to share that contemplating her girl on the way makes her and her better half “think of all the young women and girls around the globe who must be given the ability and the support to lead us forward.”
“Their future leadership depends on the decisions we make and the actions we take now to set them up, and set all of us up, for a successful, equitable, compassionate tomorrow,” she added. “We want to make sure that as we recover, we recover stronger. That as we rebuild, we rebuild together. Thank you.”
Meghan and Harry, a day and a half, as the mission seats of the ritzy show, which had an objective to expand donations and sharing of vaccine doses to need populaces all throughout the world.
Global Citizen reported on Saturday that they had “surpassed the campaign goal of securing 10 million COVID-19 vaccine doses to help the world’s most marginalized communities and health care workers access the vaccine.”
While praising their child Archie’s second birthday celebration this week, the couple likewise talked about the need of ensuring everybody has “equal access to the vaccine.”
On Thursday, Meghan and Harry shared how individuals all throughout the planet can uphold a decent motivation to pay tribute to their child on their Archewell Foundation site. “We have been deeply touched over the past two years to feel the warmth and support for our family in honor of Archie’s birthday,” the couple wrote.
“Many of you donate to charities on his behalf, and mark the occasion by giving back or doing an act of service—all through the goodness of your hearts,” the couple added. “You raise funds for those who need it most, and continue to do so organically and selflessly. We remain incredibly grateful.”
As the world is as yet attempting to conquer the COVID-19 pandemic, the couple said that “we cannot think of a more resonant way to honor our son’s birthday” than urging fans to give to vaccine equity.
“If we all show up, with compassion for those we both know and don’t know, we can have a profound impact,” they wrote. “Even a small contribution can have a ripple effect. Together, we can uplift, protect, and care for one another.”
