[News] Meghan Markle talks about ‘world she comes from’ as she announces new job in finance

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have announced their new jobs in the world of finance.

 

They revealed via their Archewell website that they have become “impact partners” and investors of a sustainable investment firm called Ethic.

 

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex said the roles would help them “put their values into action”.

 

A statement from the couple said: “When we invest in each other we change the world… “Be it through the investment of time (as with mentoring), investment in community (as with volunteering), or the investment of funds (for those who have the means to), our choices—of how and where we put our energy—define us as a global community.

 

“We believe it’s time for more people to have a seat at the table when decisions are made that impact everyone. We want to rethink the nature of investing to help solve the global issues we all face.

 

“Our impact partnership with Ethic is one of the ways we put our values in action.”

 

Also, in a joint interview with Harry, Meghan told DealBook: “From the world I come from, you don’t talk about investing, right?

 

“You don’t have the luxury to invest. That sounds so fancy.

 

“My husband has been saying for years, ‘Gosh, don’t you wish there was a place where if your values were aligned like this, you could put your money to that same sort of thing?'”
