New Actor: Meghan Markle Pays Tribute to Gloria Steinem

Meghan Markle posted an Instagram tribute calling Gloria Steinem her friend and mentor. She said she was grateful Steinem knew in recent weeks how loved and admired she was. Meghan added that she still wears the bracelet Steinem gave her engraved with “we are linked, not ranked.”

She recalled their public work together, from joint interviews to phoning young voters, attending awards, and brainstorming how to make the world more equitable. She also described private moments, including Thanksgiving with her family, Steinem introducing her to one of her best friends, loving their children with her whole heart, and counseling her through hard times with tea and sharp wit.

Meghan shared a favorite story of Steinem in New York telling a mother, “It doesn’t matter if she knows who I am. What matters is that she knows who SHE is.” She posted three photos, including one of Steinem with Prince Archie as a toddler, with his face covered by a white-heart emoji. Steinem had described Meghan as smart, authentic, funny and political.
