Meghan Markle will join a lineup of influential leaders — including Vice President Kamala Harris and Selena Gomez — at Fortune’s annual Most Powerful Women Summit in Washington, D.C., next week.
The Duchess of Sussex is scheduled to sit down with Fortune’s Alyson Shontell on Tuesday, Oct. 14, to discuss the launch of her As ever lifestyle brand and share insights on “navigating entrepreneurship in the public eye and building a brand that will endure.”
The three-day summit will feature additional talks from Vice President Harris on her presidential campaign and recently released book 107 Days; Selena Gomez on her Rare Beauty brand; Kara Lawson on coaching the USA Women’s Basketball Team; and Brené Brown on leadership and company culture, among others.
Meghan’s participation follows a busy stretch of engagements. She and Prince Harry are currently in New York City, where they’ll be honored at Project Healthy Minds’ third annual World Mental Health Day Gala on Thursday, Oct. 9.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will receive the nonprofit’s Humanitarians of the Year Award for their work through the Archewell Foundation and their “commitment to mental health support and building a safer, more equitable digital world for today’s youth and families.”
In a statement last month, Harry and Meghan said, “Working with families and young people to prioritize safety online has been some of the most meaningful work of our lives. As parents ourselves, we have been moved to action by the power of their stories and are honored to support them. We’re proud to be long-time partners of Project Healthy Minds as we work together to shine a light on what remains one of the most pressing issues of our time.”
Last weekend, Meghan made her debut at Paris Fashion Week, attending the Balenciaga show in a chic white oversized cape layered over a matching button-down shirt and paired with black pointed-toe heels.
A spokesperson for Meghan said she attended in support of Pierpaolo Piccioli, who recently became the brand’s Creative Director.
Her friend and makeup artist, Daniel Martin, later shared the details of her radiant look on social media. “We just wanted to keep everything light, fresh, and radiant,” he explained. “She had just flown in, and your skin gets dehydrated from the plane, so I wanted to bring some hydration back and bring life to it. When you come from fashion like I do, it’s not about the makeup — it’s about just looking beautiful, radiant, polished.”
