Duchess Meghan Markle has written a heartfelt letter to support an important cause. The letter was published earlier today.
- Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex has written a heartfelt letter to support one of her patronages.
- The sweet letter was penned to support World Access to Higher Education Day.
- In other royal news, the Duchess of York has thanked fans for sweet birthday wishes in an adorable way.
Duchess Meghan Markle is a patron for the Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU) and today she spoke out in support of the organisation in honour of World Access to Higher Education Day.
The ACU took to their Twitter page to share the heartfelt letter with their thousands of followers.
‘Today, on World Access to Higher Education Day, we are able to celebrate the vital role that colleges and universities play in society and how important it is for all people, regardless of gender or socioeconomic background, to have the opportunity to access this higher education,’ wrote the Duchess of Sussex.
‘The value of this cannot be understated. Because education expands mindsets, and those minds can then expand the scope of the world at large. From a micro to a macro level, it is with education that we see great change.
‘Earlier this year I met Simon Kiongo from Kenya, who grew up on a small family farm, and traded vegetables as a means of covering tuition costs,’ the Duchess continued. ‘It struck me as such a prime example of how so many around the world yearn for education and do whatever they can to afford themselves that opportunity.
‘Now, with support from the ACU, he is doing remarkable cancer research for his country, specifically looking at fertilizers in the food supply and the carcinogenic links that has on community health. Simon is higher education in action.

‘The ACU highlights journeys to belonging – looking at how universities can support access to higher education for those who are most vulnerable – be it refugees or those displaced.
‘Additionally the ACU continues to create opportunities for those within the university structure – the faculty and staff who require grants to maximize the impact of their research studies, and enabling students to exceed even their own expectations of what they can achieve.
‘I am proud to be patron of the ACU and all that it stands for, as we champion those seeking a higher education and commit to making this world a better place – together.
‘HRH The Duchess of Sussex, Patron of the ACU’.
