The Duchess of Sussex has quoted Kate Sheppard in a speech congratulating New Zealand for leading the world on women's rights. She and the Duke, Prince Harry, were hosted by the Governor-General Dame Patsy Reddy at a reception last night celebrating the 125th anniversary of women's suffrage in this country. Meghan Markle told the audience the suffrage campaign was not just about feminism but fairness for all marginalised groups.
