Meghan Markle launched a new charitable initiative in honour of her 40th birthday alongside her pal and actress Melissa McCarthy. The Bridesmaids star admitted she was “impressed” as she gushed over the Duchess of Sussex.
Meghan’s 40×40 project asks 40 individuals to dedicate 40 minutes of their day to helping a woman returning to the work after the pandemic.
The 50-year-old actress addressed the Sussexes’ decision to step down from their roles as senior royals as she appeared to wade into the backlash the couple have received.
Melissa urged we need a “billion more people” like the Duchess that will help others.
Addressing Meghan’s decision to step back from royal duties, the Hollywood actress said the royal couple are putting themselves and their children at the forefront.

Melissa admitted she was eager to be “signed up” when approached to take part in Meghan’s 40th birthday video.
During the candid clip, the Duke of Sussex made a brief cameo appearance for the 40×40 initiative.
Harry was initially unsure about making an appearance but in the brief moment, he can be seen juggling three balls in the garden while his wife takes part in the video call.
