The 37-year-old wife of Prince Harry recently said that although she was unaware of what sexism was, she had a gut feeling that a TV advertisement wasn't quite right.
Speaking at a panel for International Women's Day on Friday 08 March, Meghan explained: "At age 11, I had seen a commercial at the time that I thought to be very sexist. Truth be told, at 11 I don't think I even knew what sexism meant. I just knew that something struck me internally that was telling me it was wrong, and I knew that it was wrong. And using that as my moral compass and moving through from the age of 11, at that age I was able to change this commercial."
The former 'Suits' star ended up writing a letter to the company who created the commercial, and was successful- they later changed their slogan from "women all over America" to "people all over America."
Meghan added: "It really set up the trajectory for me to say, if there was a wrong, if there is a lack of justice, and there is an inequality, then someone needs to do something. And why not me?"
Ahead of the panel, Meghan - who is currently expecting her first child with Prince Harry - was named as vice president of The Queen's Commonwealth Trust, of which the Queen is Patron and Prince Harry is President.
The trust exists to champion, fund and connect young leaders around the world, and the Duchess hopes to bring "equality for all of us" through her role.
