Meghan Markle once revealed at a UN women&#039;s conference how she advocated and won a case at the tender age of 11.

When 11-Year-Old Meghan Markle Advocated for Women’s Rights by “standing up”

Meghan Markle has been through a lot in the past couple of years. From marrying
a British prince to having a miscarriage to becoming one of the most searched
celebrities, the American actress has come a long way. And with the recent
release of the couple’s “vilified” docuseries Harry & Meghan, her popularity has
risen to another level.



But before marrying Prince Harry, what made Meghan Markle popular was her role
as Rachel Zane in Suits. The show helped her gain enough popularity and a
platform to raise her voice for the benefit of humanity, especially women. But
did you know that Markle became a real-life advocate way before starring in the
show?

HOW DID MEGHAN MARKLE ACCIDENTALLY BECOME AN ADVOCATE? 

The 41-year-old actress is not just known for her acting skills and being the
Duchess of Sussex; she has also established herself as an activist and
philanthropist. Before her marriage to Prince Harry, she was bestowed with the
position of global ambassador for World Vision and advocates for UN Women.

As per CNBC
[https://www.cnbc.com/2017/12/01/meghan-markle-on-being-an-advocate-for-women-at-a-young-age.html],
in 2015, Meghan Markle revealed at a UN Women’s event that she accidentally
became an advocate when she was barely 11. The story behind it is quite
interesting. It goes back to when Meghan was in school, and one day she saw a
dishwashing liquid commercial on TV that said, “Women all over America are
fighting greasy pots and pans.”

Two of the boys from her class commented that the kitchen was where women
belonged and that really pissed Meghan off. When she shared this incident with
her dad, he encouraged her to write a letter and she wrote it addressing the
soap maker, TV journalist Linda Ellerbee, lawyer Gloria Allred, and the
then-U.S. First Lady Hillary Clinton.

Surprisingly, not only did she receive encouraging replies from all these women
but also a filming team to document the complete case. Moreover, the soap
company changed “Women all over America” to “People all over America“. And that
is how Meghan Markle won her first case!
