37-year-old Meghan, who married Prince Harry in May, gave a moving speech on Sunday 28 October as she visited Government House in Wellington, New Zealand, for a celebration of the historic milestone which saw the country become the first in the world to allow females to vote.
"The achievements of the women in New Zealand who campaigned for their right to vote, and were the first in the world to achieve it, are universally admired," the pregnant Duchess said.
"Women's suffrage is not simply about the right to vote for women, but also about what that represents: the basic and fundamental human rights of all people, including those members of society who have been marginalised whether for reasons of race, gender, ethnicity or orientation, to be able to participate in the choices for their future and their community."
Meghan also praised New Zealand once again for "paving the way" for women across the globe.
"So bravo, New Zealand, for championing this right 125 years ago," she added.
