Prince Harry's girlfriend Meghan Markle, who is already a television star, humanitarian campaigner and the most googled actress of 2016, attended the One Young World Forum in Canada, and has also graced the new edition of Vanity Fair magazine, in a feature celebrating the global leaders of tomorrow.

The forum is a UK-based charity that aims to gather 'the brightest young leaders from around the world' and Markle was selected for a photo shoot on Ottawa's Parliament Hill. She was invited in her capacity as a UN Women Advocate for Women Leadership and Political Participation and global ambassador for World vision. She is said to be considering moving into a cottage at Kensington Palace with Prince Harry.  

Sharing the humanitarian spirit of her Royal beau and his late mother Princess Diana, Meghan travelled to Delhi and Mumbai this January. Meghan wore a bindi on her forehead, just as Princess Diana did in India in 1992, as she showed her support for US aid organisation World Vision.

She was visiting India to help fight against the stigma around menstruation and understand the knock on effect on women and travelled with children’s charity World Vision and met girls directly impacted by the stigmatisation.
