Markle and Steinem are still friends. Steinem, a co-founder of the Women’s Media Center, spoke about Meghan Markle last week. Steinem called Meghan a “wonderful human being” when asked why she collaborated with her on a Vogue article about reproductive rights this year.

“I’m no media specialist, but she appears different from the media portrayal,” said a feminist activist. She’s brilliant, humorous, and socially conscious.

Steinem jokes, “Maybe it’s the British tabloids.”
The pair has spoken before this year. Meghan and Steinem had a “backyard talk” about voting two years ago.

“We lived next door in California, which is 45 minutes away,” Steinem remarked. “We met” Steinem gave the Duchess a “We are linked not ranked” bracelet in 2020. Meghan remarked the phrase “means everything to me on every level” and it still does. Steinem: “I think humans — or living things on Earth — are linked, not ranked.” “Race, gender, and class rank us, which is inaccurate.”

Later that year, the Duchess of Sussex “came to the tiny farmhouse” where Steinem was staying to cold-call voters. Steinem will support Meghan with “any of her endeavors” if she can, especially because “she and her husband are undertaking media ventures.”

Steinem says they’ll remain “friends” between projects.
