Meghan, is that you? Charity teases Duchess of Sussex as their new model and she poses
Meghan Markle has been unveiled as the new face of a Los Angeles charity supporting single mothers as she continues her philanthropic efforts.
The Duchess of Sussex, 45, has partnered with Moms Offering More (MOM) on a ‘special edition’ cream and chocolate-brown sweatshirt.
The jumper, which is being sold for £76 (US$100), is embroidered with the words ‘It’s the little things’ on the back and sleeve, presumably chosen by Meghan.
The charity, which is supported by the Oprah Winfrey Charitable Foundation, announced the collaboration on Instagram on Sunday.
It shared a black and white photo of the Duchess posing in the limited edition sweatshirt under a tree with her back to the camera.
Meghan shared another photo of her modelling the jumper, which she paired with a blue and white pinstripe shirt and a chunky silver ring.
The mother-of-two captioned the photo: ‘Small acts of care can make a big difference for parents, for caregivers, for moms.
‘This International Day of the Girl, I’m proud of the way we are showing up, including with our Archewell Philanthropies collaboration with @momsofferingmore supporting families alongside @allianceofmoms and @allianceforchildrensrights.

‘As Moms Offering More says: ‘It’s the little things.’ And all of those ‘little things’ ladder up to big support.’
It comes after the Duchess was pictured in a warm embrace with Malala Yousafzai after the pair enjoyed afternoon tea at Claridge’s in London last week.
She announced on Sunday, International Day of the Girl, that all net profits from her As Ever teas and jams would be donated to the Malala Fund for one day only.
Meghan and Malala shared a joint statement on Instagram to announce the partnership alongside two photos of the women enjoying afternoon tea.
In one of the photos, the pair are seen beaming at the camera before an array of freshly-baked cakes, and tightly holding hands in the other.
The joint statement read: ‘When we support the girls of today, we empower the women of tomorrow. Access to education is the key to unlocking this.’ – Meghan, Duchess of Sussex & Malala Yousafzai.
‘This International Day of the Girl, in partnership with Archewell Philanthropies, 100% of net proceeds from As Ever jams and teas will support Malala Fund and its vital work to ensure that every girl has access to free, safe, quality education.
‘Tea for Two has never felt so good. Shop at asever.com.’
Meghan and Malala dined in Claridge’s world-famous Foyer and Reading Room, where afternoon tea costs £95 per person.
Champagne is available for £30 more but Malala, a Muslim who does not drink alcohol, and Meghan appeared to stick to tea and mineral water.

The women first joined forces in October 2020 for a virtual discussion on International Day of the Girl, when they spoke about girls’ education.
Meghan said on the call: ‘When young girls have access to education, everyone wins, and everyone succeeds. It just opens the door for societal success at the highest level.
‘What I had realised very early on was that when women have a seat at the table, conversations in terms of policy change, conversations in terms of legislation and the dynamics of the community are all shifted.
‘And when you have to see how you get a woman to embrace her voice, you have to start with where she is a young girl.’
Following their conversation, Malala said: ‘Meghan and I are on the same page: we both believe that when girls have access to education, everyone wins.’
The Malala Fund, which was founded in 2013, aims to provide every girl with 12 years of safe and free education.
It targets regions where young girls face severe educational barriers, including Afghanistan, Brazil, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Tanzania.
The London meet-up is believed to have been Meghan’s first public appearance in the capital since Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September 2022.
She wore a camel Tove Studio coat worth £1,695, a £630 cashmere sweater in wheat by LA-based label CO and Ralph Lauren’s £1,700 white satin Masina trousers.
She carried a black Chanel handbag worth around £7,000 and wore £795 Saint Laurent ivory and tan ‘Chris’ loafers.
Around her neck was Logan Hollowell’s Lovers Duet Diamond and Emerald Chain necklace, valued at £16,200. Her entire outfit came to just more than £28,000.
The Daily Mail has contacted Meghan’s representative for comment.
