Meghan Markle recorded a video message for Global Citizen's Vax Live event and discussed the ways in which the pandemic will impact women of color long-term.

Meghan wore a gorgeous red shirt dress with a pink poppy flower pattern in the video, which was filmed outdoors in a lovely garden . The duchess wore her hair down in loose curls, pull simply to one side and could be seen protectively cradling her stomach in some moments during the clip.

In her brief speech, the Meghan discussed the intersection of gender and the pandemic, specifically, how women—and especially women of color—will be disproportionately affected by the pandemic and its related shutdowns, saying: "The past year has been defined by communities coming together tirelessly and heroically to tackle COVID-19. And we've gathered tonight because the road ahead is getting brighter, but it's going to take every one of us to find our way forward. As campaign chairs of VAX LIVE, my husband and I believe it's critical that our recovery prioritizes the health, safety and success of everyone, and particularly women who have been disproportionately affected by this pandemic.

My husband and I are thrilled to soon be welcoming a daughter. It's a feeling of joy we share with millions of other families around the world. When we think of her, we think of all the young women and girls around the globe who must be given the ability and support to lead us forward."

This is factually incorrect - she is full of 💩as usual

Like your dark coloured PJs.. lol 😂

From one who just retired from healthcare, this is BS. The black population is more reluctant to get vaccinated. More fearful, more reluctant to pay.That is a fact. You cannot force someone to get the vaccine...

FactsDos What a load of tosh that speech was! 😂

She’s a very strong voice and the camera loves her! She’s heavily pregnant here and looks as radiant as ever.

Covid doesn’t do colour but human race

JOKE is wat you are

Does it look like she’s already given birth? She was bigger in photos in March & we know they want to control news about the birth

More than you.

ladyrocksavage How about the other half of herself that is white We all suffered The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting lockdown caused 114 million people to lose their jobs over 2020.

This is not true. Speaking for black women in America, the majority being frontline workers who held the country down with no recognition for it, we kept moving heroically. But all were impacted. There are many causes to identity politic the human race in. This isn't one of them.
