Meghan Markle komt met een eigen kledinglijn + prins Harry onthult hoeveel kinderen ze willen

Meghan's kledinglijn

Al een tijdje is Meghan in de ban van Smart Works: een goed doel die vrouwen die lang geen werk hebben gehad, weer het zelfvertrouwen, de skills én de outfits willen geven om met een fijn gevoel weer aan de slag te gaan. Na een aantal bezoekjes aan de organisatie, vond ze dat de kleding die gedoneerd werd voor de vrouwen, niet echt gebruikt kon worden om de juiste setjes te maken voor op de arbeidsvloer.

Het is duidelijk dat de duchess van mode houdt en om de Smart Works vrouwen te helpen, besloot ze met de organisatie samen en met goede vriendin en ontwerpster Misha Nonoo een kledinglijn op te richten. Tijdens de laatste maanden van haar zwangerschap zocht ze de looks uit. 

"The reason why I was drawn to Smart Works is that it reframed the idea of charity as community... it’s a network of women supporting and empowering other women in their professional pursuits", aldus Meghan.

Spotlight on: Smart Works We are proud to be supporting a very special initiative this autumn for @SmartWorksCharity! After quiet visits to Smartworks over the last year, The Duchess was moved by the impactful work being done by this non profit organisation that helps women into the workforce, equipping them with both the skills and clothes they need to feel job-ready. Throughout her visits she noticed that while the donations were plentiful, they were also notably a combination of mismatched items and colours which weren’t always the right stylistic choices or sizes that didn’t necessarily “suit” the job at hand: to make a woman feel confident and inspired as she walked into her job interview. As a result, launching this autumn, The Duchess will be supporting a collective to help equip the women of Smart Works with the key workwear essentials they need as they enter into the workplace. This initiative is supported by four generous brands who share the vision to empower the women of Smart Works to look and feel 💯 as they bravely venture in to what can often be a daunting environment for those who have been out of the job market. The brands have come together to work towards this united force for good, “[reframing] the idea of charity as community,” as The Duchess writes in a piece for this month’s British Vogue. They will follow the 1:1 model where an item from the collection purchased is an item shared with a woman of Smart Works because “not only does this allow us to be part of each other’s story; it reminds us we are in it together.” For more information on how you can be part of another woman’s success story visit @smartworkscharity. Special thanks to: @JohnLewisandPartners, @MarksandSpencer, @MishaNonoo, @InsideJigsaw for supporting this very special organisation. And to find out more, read the September issue of @BritishVogue and stay tuned for more exciting updates this autumn. Photo©️SussexRoyal

We are so proud to be included in the seminal, September Edition of @britishvogue guest-edited by our Royal Patron, HRH The Duchess of Sussex @sussexroyal . . In the article, The Duchess writes: “The reason I was drawn to Smart Works is that it reframes the idea of charity as community. It’s a network of women supporting and empowering other women in their professional pursuits.” . . Our Smart Works family is flourishing under the Duchess’s patronage. We have dressed more women than ever before, and we have just had our best ever July, helping 27% more women across the UK than the same time last year. We want to help more women find their way to a Smart Works centre so that they may, in the words of the Duchess, be ready to take on the world, get a job and transform their lives . . The Duchess and Smart Works have more exciting plans in store (watch this space) but for now, we hope you’ll buy this very special #ForcesForChange edition of Vogue and be inspired by what you read. . . #ForcesforChange #Smartworks #Inthepress #Vogue #WomenEmpoweringWomen

Prins Harry over kinderen

Wie ons artikel over Meghan's samenwerking met de Britse Vogue van afgelopen maandag heeft gelezen, weet dat prins Harry een gesprek heeft gehad voor het blad met ethologe Jane Goodall. Ze spraken over klimaatverandering en de invloed die wij mensen hebben op de aarde. Dat is iets waar Harry meer over na is gaan denken, nu hij vader is. 

"I think, weirdly, because of the people that I've met and the places that I've been fortunate enough to go to, I've always had a connection and a love for nature", aldus Harry. "I view it differently now, without question. But I've always wanted to try and ensure that, even before having a child and hoping to have children..." Maar voordat Harry zijn zin kon afmaken, zei Goodall lachend: "Not too many!" Harry's reactie? "Two maximum!" Nou, das duidelijk!
