“Fashion is one of the most powerful industries,” Meghan Markle told Women’s Weekly Australia. “It influences how we feel and what we project.”

“Even if you don’t say a word, you can convey something in what you wear, the duchess said.

“I love being able to wear local designers and celebrate the craftsmanship that’s happening in whatever region I’m travelling to.”

“Over the last several years, I would hear about an incorrect designer getting credit for something I wore, either via affiliate links or press, and that never seemed fair,” Meghan told Women’s Weekly Australia.

“Credit where credit is due,” she said.

“These brands and designers work so hard and take great pride in their work, and I choose them for a reason,” noted Meghan.
