T
he Dutchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle celebrates her 40th birthday today (5th August 2021). On this day Meghan’s friend and the Global icon Priyanka Chopra wishes the Dutchess a happy birthday but posting a picture which reads ’40 × 40′.
Sharing the picture, she wrote, “Happy birthday, Meghan. For her 40th birthday this year, in true Meg fashion, she’s chosen to put the welfare of others first. As we all know, the pandemic has disproportionately impacted women around the world.
In America alone, OVER 2 MILLION WOMEN have departed the workforce since January 2020. The three groups experiencing the largest burdens are mothers, women in senior management positions, and women of colour. These women, who are pillars of our communities, are shouldering the brunt of the crisis, including homeschooling and caring for family members of all ages. It’s time to help women get back into the workforce. The Duchess of Sussex has asked 40 of her friends to take 40 minutes to support women getting back into the workforce…Of course I was more than happy to join. Now that’s a great way to celebrate a milestone Birthday. Bravo, my friend. You can all join in too. If you are able, donate time to mentoring, community service or any act or service that you can and maybe we can all collectively contribute to a global wave of compassion.
#40×40 #CompassioninAction.”
Meghan Markle and Priyanka Chopra has been friends for many years, however there were rumours that the friendship had become bitter after the Dutchess missed the global actress’s wedding.
