Meghan Markle's secret visit to inspire teenagers through Project fearless has been praised by fans.
- Meghan Markle took time out of her busy Invictus Games schedule to secretly meet up with teenagers to offer some inspirational advice.
- The Duchess of Sussex is no longer a working royal but she couldn't resist supporting a cause close to her heart.
- This royal news comes after Meghan Markle and Prince Harry release gorgeous photo of Lilibet Diana but fans are torn.
Meghan Markle's secret trip to give "inspiring and encouraging" advice to teenagers has been praised by fans.
The Duchess of Sussex, who has a passion for helping women into employment as patron of Smart Works, has backed Project Fearless - a dutch non-profit entrepreneurship course in Amsterdam that serves girls and non-binary kids - and Meghan stopped by to be guest coach to give feedback on the young people's sustainable business pitches.
The visit, which took place in April at the time of the Sussexes Invictus Games engagement, had been a secret visit until now, and Meghan's low-key visit has come to light as the project celebrates its third anniversary.
Speaking about the project, Meghan said, "Safe, supportive spaces like Project Fearless allow girls the opportunity to express themselves, build each other up, gain resilience, and tackle new challenges.”

A spokesperson from Project Fearless explained, "It’s through incredible experiences like this that our girls are able to meet inspirational and accessible role models. Hearing how they’ve shaped their paths in life, and knowing that they, too, can pursue any goals they choose!
"We are so proud of our continuous growth, from our movement and sports programs to collaborations creating opportunities for girls to break through glass ceilings and beyond."
The project started back in 2019 and involved 30 girls and since then the scheme has welcomed 747 kids to take part in the programmes.
