Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, has encouraged women to "keep shining brightly" and "know [their] worth". In her speech - which was shared to the Sussex Royal Instagram account - the former 'Suits' actress said: "Today is International Day of the Girl. She has the right to learn, the right to be heard, the right to play and to discover. Know your worth, and know that we are behind you every step of the way." And in the caption of the video - which sourced clips from charities Meghan and Harry both support - Meghan explained in more detail the meaning behind the special day of recognition.
