December 3, 2017 - Inconnu, inconnu - 01/12/2017 - Here’s amazing footage of royal-bride-to-be Meghan Markle as an 11-year-old talking about female equality.

In 2015, Markle recalled the incident during a speech at the United Nations to mark International Women's Day. She recalled:” I remember feeling shocked and angry and also just feeling so hurt.“It just wasn't right and something needed to be done.”She said her father inspired her to bring about change.by encouraging her to write letters to the most powerful people she could think of.

Proctor & Gamble also responded by changing the wording of the commercial from “women” to “people.”The revised
