Speaking of husband Prince Harry, Meghan said he also identifies as a feminist, and that she is so happy her son, Archie, will grow up with a father who is "comfortable owning that as part of his own self-identification".

In the discussion, Gloria tells Meghan: "Well, you can be a feminist and be masculine and a guy", to which the Duchess responds: "Like my husband! I love that when he just came in he said, ‘You know that I’m a feminist too, right Gloria?!' It’s really important to me that you know that."

She went on to say: "But you need that. And I look at our son and what a beautiful example that he gets to grow up with a father who is so comfortable owning that as part of his own self-identification.

"That there’s no shame in being someone who advocates for fundamental human rights for everyone, which of course includes women."

Gloria added that this also makes Harry a "nurturing father" because their son "will grow up knowing it's OK to be loving and nurturing".

Meghan ended the conversation by telling Gloria: "Well said. I know it’ll mean a lot to him when I share that."
