The Duchess of Sussex is to be honoured as part of a celebratory US women’s event. But she will not attend it out of respect for the late Queen.
Meghan was selected alongside other high-profile women, including Hillary Clinton, Oprah Winfrey and Malala, as part of US outlet Variety’s Power of Women event. The honourees will feature on the cover of the publication’s Power of Women special edition, with an event taking place on Wednesday September 28.
The announcement on Thursday comes as Meghan remains in the UK with her husband the Duke of Sussex ahead of the late monarch’s state funeral on Monday. On Wednesday the couple attended the procession of the monarch’s coffin to Westminster Hall, in London, where it is laying in state ahead of the funeral.
