Meghan Markle’s team pre-approved Vancouver charity visit text

Meghan Markle’s team pre-approved text and pictures sent out after her carefully-choreographed charity visit in Vancouver earlier this week.

The Duchess of Sussex visited feminist climate change group Justice For Girls in Vancouver on Tuesday in one of the first times she has been seen since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced they were quitting as senior royals.

Her visit was publicised on the group’s Twitter account but only after Meghan’s team apparently gave the go-ahead, The Daily Telegraph reports.

The tweet read: ‘Yesterday, The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle visited to discuss climate justice for girls and the rights of Indigenous peoples. 

‘Was great to talk about the importance of a holistic approach to social justice, and the power of young women’s leadership.’

The charity’s co-director Zoe Craig-Sparrow confirmed that that charity had sent the proposed Tweet to the Duchess’s team first.

She said: ‘And we wanted to ensure that what we were putting forward was an accurate representation of the meeting – we thought it went really well, but obviously we want to make sure that was reciprocated.’ 

On the visit, Meghan was gifted an 18ct gold and diamond whale tail charm necklace by a First Nations artist.

The necklace was designed by Hollie Bartlett, who is a member of the Haisla Nation. 

Hollie hand-picked the piece from her collection at Vancouver’s Douglas Reynolds Gallery, which specialises in historic and contemporary northwest coast native art. 

Meghan’s visit to Justice for Girls was one of two charity visits she made that day. 

The other was to Downtown Eastside Women’s Center,r however she never stepped foot inside the refuge.

Nor did she actually meet with any of the 500 at-risk women who use the Downtown Eastside Center in one of Canada’s poorest areas.

Instead the Duchess of Sussex went to the Vancouver organisation’s administrative offices in a former hotel building, where she met only with members of staff, acting executive director Kate Gibson said.

Logistics for the visit to the center itself would have been too difficult, Gibson explained. 

For one thing the center only allows in ‘women and those who self-identify as women’ so Royal Protection Officers would have had to stay outside, she said. 

She broke cover at the vulnerable women’s centre after a ‘mysterious’ email from a Hotmail account arrived asking if she could drop in. 

On Thursday back in London, Harry made his first major royal engagement since Megxit – and possibly his last – before he will reportedly join Meghan and Archie in Canada in the coming days (pictured)

Harry’s Instagram story marked what could be his last event as a senior royal, giving fans a behind-the-scene glimpse before the Rugby League World Cup 2020 draw set to a Stone Roses hit with lyrics: ‘I’d like to leave the country’

It came from Meghan’s ‘assistant’ – not a royal aide, according to the centre’s boss Ms Gibson.

On Thursday, Meghan drove herself to a Canadian airport to pick up a pilates-expert friend who jetted in from the US for the weekend to pick up a pilates-expert friend who jetted in from the US for the weekend.

She appeared to be in high spirits as she chatted with a male companion in the front seat, believed to be personal security, for about 10 minutes until her friend Heather Dorak arrived.

More than 5,000 miles away in London, her husband Harry made his first public appearance since the Megxit bombshell – and potentially his last engagement as a frontline royal – at the draw for the Rugby League World Cup at Buckingham Palace on Thursday. 

And Harry and Meghan’s staff at Frogmore Cottage are reportedly being ‘let go’, in the surest sign yet the couple will settle permanently in Canada with the Duchess strongly rumoured never to return.

This week, a close friend said: ‘Meghan felt she had to escape because living within the royal confines was soul crushing.’ 

Meghan’s friend explained that the 38-year-old feels she can ‘finally breathe’ since leaving and has free reign over her life again.

They also explained that Meghan felt that living within the royal family confines was ‘soul crushing’ and she didn’t want her son around such a ‘toxic environment’, deciding to leave in part for his benefit.
