She added: "In the past two years, tens of millions of women around the world have departed the workforce.
"If you can, please join me and commit 40 minutes to community, service or mentorship."
Eugenie also added some cute stickers to the post to mark Meghan's birthday, which included the word: "Happy birthday," spelt out in rainbow lettering and a yellow character with a party hat and party blower.
The gift came after the Duchess of Sussex launched 40×40, a global project to encourage people around the world to commit to giving 40 minutes of their time to support women going back to work.
Eugenie was among the 40 activists, athletes, artists and world leaders Meghan asked to participate.
The royal is very close with Meghan's husband, Prince Harry, and Harry and Meghan gave Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brookshank, Frogmore Cottage when they left to live in the United States.
