Duchess Meghan shares that she is in a stage of her life where she is investing in herself

Since stepping down as senior working royals, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have remained busy. They have continued to work with their charitable organizations and patronages, while also raising their young children. And that doesn't even take into account the trips they have taken as part of their efforts to promote their charitable works.

And in a new interview that was published to the New York Times, Duchess Meghan has shared more insight into what life looks like now for her. Specifically, she has shared that this is a time in her life where she is choosing to invest in herself.

But how is the Duchess of Sussex investing in herself? It seems as if she has chosen to invest in others as a way to invest in what she believes in.

Duchess Meghan is investing in herself at this stage of her life

"Investing in them has helped me line up for this chapter where I’m investing in myself."

Apparently the duchess is currently investing in between five and 10 different brands, including her latest investment, which is for Cesta Collective. Cesta Collective makes handwoven bags in Rwanda with the help of local, female artisans, before they are finished in Italy.

The first time Duchess Meghan carried a Cesta Collective woven bag was apparently in 2023. This was for a dinner with friends, and according to the founders of the brand, the day that the duchess wore the bag was their biggest sales day to that point.

All things considered, when it comes to her fashion choices, Duchess Meghan knows what she is doing. And in many cases, her stylistic decisions can have a major impact on a brand and a designer. So knowing that she is also investing in some of these brands is quite iconic.

There is no denying that Duchess Meghan can be a very savvy businesswoman. And having her invest in select brands as a way to help propel them to a new audience and level of success is truly empowering. It seems as if the duchess is doing her part to help brands with a mission that aligns with her own, and that is something we can appreciate.
