Not that we needed another reason to love Prince Harry [3], but Meghan Markle just confirmed that her fiancé is also a feminist. On Thursday, Harry and Meghan travelled to Cardiff, Wales [4] for another royal engagement, and as she was greeting the crowd, a fan named Jessica Phillips [5] told Meghan how happy she was to have a feminist in the royal family. "Oh, thank you," Meghan happily replied. "He's [Harry] a feminist, too."

Meghan has been outspoken about women's rights and feminism for years now. Not only has she worked with organisations like One World Vision [6] to shed light on the issues and challenges the women and girls who live in India face, but she also penned an incredibly powerful essay [7] for Elle in November 2016 about why she takes being a public female figure so seriously. Oh, and let's not forget that she protested against a sexist TV commercial [8] with a segment on Nickelodeon's Nick News at just 11 years old! Watch the moment above now — and is it just us, or is Harry's accent rubbing off on Meghan?
