Meghan Markle has celebrated Black History Month through a post on Archewell, which highlighted museums and other cultural spaces across the United States which are focused on Black history.
The post also included several black-and-white photos of the Skirball Cultural Center, which Meghan and the Archewell team had recently visited. In the low-key appearance, the Duchess of Sussex could be seen in a large overcoat with her hair tied up in a bun. The royal mum-of-two accessorised with a pair of earrings and large bag, while finishing off her outfit with a pair of flats.
The Duchess appeared to be absorbing all the information, looking deep in thought as observed photographs and text from the cultural centre.
The post from Archewell read: "During Black History Month, The Archewell Foundation continued to celebrate the many Black leaders and changemakers who have made a significant global impact on policy, culture, and society.

The post concluded with recommendations of other institutions to visit that focused on Black history, including Art + Practice in California, The International Civil Rights Center & Museum in North Carolina, The Legacy Museum in Alabama, the National Civil Rights Museum in Tennessee, the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in Ohio, the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington DC and the virtual Coretta Scott Rose Gallery.

"The civil rights history of tomorrow is being written today," the Duchess said. "Judge Jackson's nomination has opened new ground for women's representation at the highest level of a judicial system that for too long has tilted against the very community she hails from."

The new Archewell post comes just weeks after Meghan and her husband Prince Harry launched their new website, sussex.com.

It is thought the Duke and Duchess will also use the new site as a platform for personal and official updates, such as the pair's recent trip to Vancouver, which the pair visited ahead of the Invictus Games, which will be held in the Canadian city in 2025.
