Beaming Meghan Markle discusses ‘climate justice for girls’ as she sets up home while Harry stays in UK for royal crisis – The Sun

MEGHAN Markle has been pictured smiling and looking relaxed as she visited another women's charity in Vancouver after returning to Canada following the Megxit row.

The Duchess of Sussex was pictured chatting with women at Justice For Girls – a charity promoting an end to violence and racism against teenage girls living in poverty.


Writing about the visit on their Twitter page, the charity said: "Yesterday, The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle visited to discuss climate justice for girls and the rights of Indigenous peoples.

"Was great to talk about the importance of a holistic approach to social justice, and the power of young women’s leadership."

Just hours earlier, Prince Harry broke his silence as it emerged he will be staying in the UK until next week to sort the couple's royal exit bombshell.

Meghan's charity visit took place on Tuesday, the same day as she broke cover to visit a women's shelter in Vancouver.

Charity Downtown Eastside Women's Centre shared a photo of the duchess yesterday, writing on social media: "Look who we had tea with today! The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, visited us today to discuss issues affecting women in the community."

Meghan looked relaxed as she wore a white jumper with black trousers and boots during both visits.



Meghan was pictured for the first time since announcing she and Harry want to quit royal life as she boarded a seaplane from Vancouver Island to Vancouver to carry out the charity visits.

There was no sign of nine-month-old son Archie, who was believed to have been left with a nanny.

She was escorted to the plane by a bodyguard. An airport source said: “She didn’t have to sit and wait with other passengers inside the terminal.”

The former actress had previously been spotted driving around Vancouver Island – now preparing to welcome Harry back in Canada later this week.

The drop-ins came a day after Prince Harry was locked in crisis talks with the Queen, Prince Charles and Prince William – with Her Majesty accepting the couple's decision to quit and move to Canada.

Meghan was not involved in Monday's summit at Sandringham – having flown back to North America last week after returning to Britain for just three days.

She had been expected to phone in for the crunch talks but the palace later confirmed it "wasn't necessary" for her to join.

The pair spent six weeks on holiday in Canada at the end of last year and want to be based there permanently after securing 'Megxit'.

HARRY DELAYS CANADA RETURN

Prince Harry last night broke his silence after the bombshell announcement he and Meghan want to quit full-time royal duties and live in Canada.

He will conduct his first public engagement since Megxit today when he conducts the 2021 Rugby League World Cup draw.

After Harry announced the location of the 2022 Invictus Games, it emerged he will be staying in the UK until next week for a series of meetings, rather than return to Canada as had been expected.

A message on the Sussexes Instagram account said: "Here we come Düsseldorf! The new home for the 2022 and sixth Invictus Games.

"Having previously been held in London, Orlando, Toronto, Sydney, and upcoming The Hague this year in May – Düsseldorf will welcome over 500 competitors as they showcase their talents, determination and camaraderie to the world!

"The Invictus Games is an international adaptive multi-sport event, created by The Duke of Sussex, in which wounded, injured or sick (WIS) armed services personnel and veterans show the world what they’re capable of in a series of adaptive sports, ranging from wheelchair basketball to indoor rowing.

"The Duke, having spent 10 years serving in the Armed Forces, set up the @WeAreInvictusGames to celebrate the power of sport rehabilitation (both physically and mentally) and to generate a wider appreciation for those who served their country beyond their time in uniform.

"Participating in the Games plays a significant part in the recovery journey of WIS Servicemen and women. It doesn’t just heal the individual, it heals the whole family.

“I hope everyone in Germany is ready for what will be an incredible week of sport! I have no doubt that the German public will get right behind these Games and that every single competitor can expect a warm welcome and an amazing atmosphere.”
