Meghan Markle Wrote Sweet Messages On Care Packages That Were Delivered To Street Sex Workers

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were organizing care packages to be delivered to street sex workers in Bristol this weekend, but because she’s Meghan, she decided to add personal touches. 

The Duchess of Sussex grabbed a marker and started writing uplifting notes like “You are brave” and “You are strong” adorned with little hearts on banana peels while preparing the bags of food to be distributed by One25, a charity that helps sex workers by bringing them food, advice, and blankets.

The Duchess came up with the idea as they were shown the bags being prepared in the organization’s kitchen: “Oh, actually do you have a Sharpie marker? I have an idea,” she reportedly announced. “I saw this project this woman had started somewhere in the States on a school lunch program.”

Meghan went on to explain, “On each of the bananas she wrote an affirmation, to make the kids feel really, like, empowered. It was the most incredible idea – this small gesture.” She then declared, “I am in charge of the banana messaging!” 

How sweet is that?

“It was very spontaneous,” Anna Smith, CEO of One25, told People. “They were watching our volunteers pack up bags of food. Meghan just said, ‘Have you got a Sharpie?’ And I thought she was going to sign a bag. She actually signed every banana that went into all those bags.”

And this is why we love her!
