Meghan Markle Visits ACU January 2019
Meghan Markle Has Another Royal First as She Embarks on Her Next Patronage Visit
It's a week of firsts for the Duchess of Sussex as she continues to do the rounds visiting each organisation that she is the new patron for. After making her first trip to the National Theatre on Jan. 30, she made her second outing of the week the following day.
This time around, Meghan visited The Association of Commonwealth Universities to meet students and academics from the ACU's network of 500 university members. According to Kensington Palace, The ACU "helps to advance knowledge, promote understanding, broaden minds and improve lives."
This Commonwealth-related patronage provides Meghan with an opportunity to work on a cause that's important to both her and her husband. Prince Harry was named Commonwealth Youth Ambassador last year, and attended a Commonwealth Youth Roundtable this week. The young royals are heavily involved in the progression of the Commonwealth. Meghan even had the Commonwealth national flowers embroidered into her wedding veil.
