It has been revealed that Meghan Markle was coaching girls on an entrepreneurship course during the Invictus Games.
While in the Netherlands for her husband Prince Harry’s sporting event in April, the Duchess of Sussex took on the role of guest coach at the scheme.
The Amsterdam-based Project Fearless initiative aims to provide tools for girls and non-binary youth aged nine to 14 to succeed in after-school programs.
Meghan was seen hugging a pleased child participant and cheering with her palm in the air in a team shot with the teenagers in photos posted by the Dutch non-profit organization on Monday.
The duchess sits cross-legged in a discussion circle and stands at a whiteboard in another photograph.
‘Safe, supportive spaces like Project Fearless allow girls the opportunity to express themselves, build each other up, gain resilience and tackle new challenges,’ Meghan remarked.
Skateboarding and kickboxing are among the activities offered, as well as classes on climate science and entrepreneurship.
The duchess’ visit was announced to commemorate the project’s third birthday.
According to the article, the former actress assisted students with their business presentations and ‘enthusiastically’ participated in a group exercise on conquering fears.
The organization explained that ‘Earlier this year, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, joined our first entrepreneurship course as a guest coach’.
‘During her visit, she gave the girls inspiring and encouraging feedback on their sustainable business pitches, and enthusiastically joined in with a group exercise on facing fears.’
Project Fearless founder Merida Miller added that ‘The duchess’ visit was a brilliant way to celebrate the impact Project Fearless has made over the last three years, introducing the girls to an accessible role model who is making a difference and using her voice.’
