Meghan Markle’s ‘proud to be feminist’ biography statement is deleted

The Royal Family’s official website have deleted large chunks of The Duchess of Sussex’s biography, The Sun reports.

The page’s bio, which details senior members of the royal family’s background and duties, no longer contains large parts of Meghan Markle’s history – including references to women’s empowerment and her work  in a soup kitchen from the age of 13-17.

Meghan, 38, has no biography, and the second line of the ‘About The Duchess of Sussex’ section now references her move to America with Prince Harry, 35, stating: ‘As announced in January, The Duke and Duchess have stepped back as senior members of The Royal Family’.

The rest of the royal family, including the Duke of Sussex, still have a biography in place. The previously described details of Meghan’s philanthropic activities have been moved to the ‘Charitable Work’ section of the royal’s page.

Meghan’s bio previously stated: ‘From a young age, The Duchess had a keen awareness of social issues and actively participated in charitable work.

‘Aged 11 she successfully campaigned for a company to alter their television advert that used sexist language to sell washing-up liquid. 

‘Her Royal Highness also volunteered at a soup kitchen in Skid Row, Los Angeles from the age of 13-17.  

‘She continued to volunteer at the soup kitchen when she would return home to Los Angeles until the age of 22.

‘These early experiences helped to shape her lifelong commitment to causes such as social injustice and women’s empowerment’.
