Meghan Markle is scheduled to appear at a significant event in the United States shortly after her recent joint engagement with Prince Harry in New York for the World Mental Health Day gala.
The Duchess of Sussex will journey to Washington DC next week to participate in the Fortune’s annual Most Powerful Women Summit on October 14, where she will be in the company of prominent figures from various fields.
Reports suggest that Meghan will focus on the launch of her lifestyle brand, As Ever, and explore topics such as “managing entrepreneurship in the public sphere and establishing a resilient brand.”
People magazine disclosed that the three-day summit will showcase discussions by notable individuals including former Vice President Kamala Harris on her presidential bid and new book, Selena Gomez on her Rare Beauty brand, Kara Lawson on coaching the USA Women’s Basketball Team, and Brené Brown on team leadership and organizational culture.
This event follows a busy period for the duchess, who recently made a surprise appearance at Paris Fashion Week before heading to New York, where she and Harry were honored with the Project Healthy Minds’ Humanitarians of the Year Award for their efforts to promote online safety for families and youth.
During the award acceptance speech, Meghan expressed concerns about her children’s future in a digital age, emphasizing the challenges of balancing the benefits and risks of technology.
Prior to her visit to New York, the Duchess of Sussex attended the Balenciaga show at Paris Fashion Week, sparking curiosity due to her connection with Pierpaolo Piccioli, the fashion designer and Balenciaga’s new creative director, whom she has supported for years.
A spokesperson for Meghan confirmed her attendance at the Balenciaga show in Paris, highlighting her long-standing collaboration with Piccioli on notable fashion moments.
