The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has marked the first anniversary of her Smart Set Capsule Collection with Smart Works, a charity that provides unemployed women with interview outfits. In a video call with three recent clients, Meghan shared personal advice, prompting a wave of positive reactions online.
During the conversation, Meghan encouraged the women, saying: "As women, so often it's easy to forget all of your skills and your assets. Not that they're not there, but you need someone sometimes to point them out for you." She emphasised that the charity's impact goes beyond clothing, stating: "It's the confidence, it's what is built within, that is the piece that you walk out of that room with and walk into the interview with."
Social media users praised the initiative. One YouTube commenter wrote: "This is really great. I bought a lot from the Smart Set capsule. Great initiative, great people." On Twitter, another user said: "It's awesome that Meghan is celebrating the one year anniversary of the SmartSet collection that she spearheaded which helped clothe so many woman getting back into the workforce."
Smart Works CEO Kate Stephens also thanked the Duchess, saying: "One year on, so much has happened, and never has this project mattered more. Thank you to the Duchess for being involved."
