Meghan Markle is scheduled to attend a prominent event in the United States following her recent joint appearance with Prince Harry in New York for the World Mental Health Day gala.
The Duchess of Sussex will be traveling to Washington DC next week to participate in Fortune’s annual Most Powerful Women Summit on October 14, where she will be among other influential figures in the country.
Reports suggest that Meghan will be focusing on the launch of her lifestyle brand, As Ever, and will discuss topics such as navigating entrepreneurship in the public eye and establishing a durable brand.
The three-day summit will include speeches by former Vice President Kamala Harris on her presidential campaign and new book, Selena Gomez on her Rare Beauty brand, Kara Lawson on coaching the USA Women’s Basketball Team, and Brené Brown on team leadership and company culture.
This event comes after a series of busy weeks for the duchess, including her surprise appearance at Paris Fashion Week and receiving the Humanitarians of the Year Award with Prince Harry for their efforts in making the online world safer for families and young people.
During the award acceptance, Meghan shared thoughts on her children’s future in a digital world, emphasizing the balance between embracing technology’s benefits and safeguarding against its risks.
Before her New York visit, the Duchess of Sussex attended the Balenciaga show at Paris Fashion Week to support her friend, Pierpaolo Piccioli, the creative director of Balenciaga, with whom she has collaborated on various design projects.
A spokesperson for Meghan mentioned her long-standing relationship with Piccioli and their collaboration on significant design projects over the years.
