Meghan Markle gets to work.
The Duchess of Sussex, 41, and Prince Harry, 37, kicked off a busy week yesterday with performances at the One Young World Summit in Manchester – and the Duchess made a statement with her meaningful fashion choices.

According to the label’s website, it operates “a value system based on three pillars – human, animal and environmental welfare”, and the Duchess of Sussex’s pieces are made from sustainable viscose and ethically sourced merino wool.
The Duchess — known for sending a message with her style — added red Aquazzura heels and jewelry from women-founded brands that also focus on ethical practices.
She recently wore one of her favorite rings, the Shiffon ‘Duet’ Pink Ring ($300-$855), which gives back to female entrepreneurs and is designed to represent women who support each other through a ‘pink pledge’.
The mother of two also chose new pieces from the ethical brand Tabayer, with the chunky “Oera” 18k gold earrings ($3,300) and matching ring ($3,800).

At the event, which brought together young leaders from more than 190 countries, Markle encouraged attendees to use their voices to make a difference.
“We often hear people say, ‘The time is now,’ but I’m going to come back to that by saying: your the time is now,” she told the audience, adding: “The important work can’t wait for tomorrow, and this week the world is watching as you cement your place in history by demonstrating the good you are doing today.” .’

Sources have said the couple will not be making any visits to the royal family this week, despite staying at their home at Frogmore Cottage, which is within walking distance of Cambridge’s new Windsor base.
