Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle was honored as one of four “Women of Vision” at the foundation’s 50th-anniversary gala.
Meghan Markle wore a strapless Johanna Ortiz dress in a metallic gold hue. Prince Harry was also present with his wife and made a rare public appearance at 2023 Women of Vision Awards in New York City.
Meghan Markle also gave her six minute speech and shared her lifelong feminist activism and it’s impact on her growing up and her mom’s subscription to Ms., Gloria Steinem’s magazine.
“I also knew that to my mom—to my dear mom who I’m honored to have here with me tonight—I knew that the significance of these magazines was important, I mean, it wasn’t a one off. She had a subscription!” she said during her speech.
“When I reflect on the time in my life, when I was young, the imprints that were etched in my mind, I can now connect the dots in a much better way to understand how I became a young feminist and evolved into a grown activist.” she added
“Ms. was formative in that cocooning: It piqued my curiosity and it became the chrysalis for the woman that I would become and that I am today.” she concluded.

Meghan Markle’s 2026 Update: Netflix, As Ever and an Emmy Nod
Updated July 2026. Markle’s public work since this gala appearance has centered on her Netflix lifestyle series ‘With Love, Meghan,’ which premiered its first season in March 2025 and earned a 2026 Daytime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lifestyle Program. Her brand As Ever, however, took a turn: in March 2026, Netflix exited its equity investment in the company, ending that piece of their six-year partnership, though Markle is continuing to grow As Ever independently. Netflix said it looks forward to continuing to work with her in other ways going forward.
