Meghan Markle

Meghan and Prince Harry sent everyone into a tizzy when they announced their departure from royal duties in January. It was an unprecedented move, but it was an influential display of power on Meghan and Harry's behalves. The couple moved to the US and continued their philanthropy, which included Meghan's narration for the Disney+ film Elephant — which benefitted the conservation charity Elephants Without Borders — as well as their donations to coronavirus relief efforts and the announcement of their nonprofit, Archewell. And that barely even scratches the surface of all the good Megan and Harry did in 2020.
