This event not only highlighted her commitment to community building but also hinted at more independent endeavors in the future.
"In celebration of Thanksgiving, Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex and The Archewell Foundation hosted a heartfelt dinner for the Southern California Welcome Project," a statement on Archewell's official website read.
"This initiative, led by the partner organization Mina’s List, has spent the past year building community through storytelling and creating a safe space for women who have resettled in the U.S. from Afghanistan."
At the event, Markle met with Afghani women while enjoying a meal of Middle Eastern-inspired dishes. After the main event, she posed with several of the women in attendance for photos. "The evening included a shared meal that encouraged open conversation centered on gratitude and resilience," the statement continued.
"The Duchess expressed her deep appreciation to the attendees for sharing their personal stories and cultural experiences, underscoring her excitement for future gatherings that continue to strengthen these connections."
