“How lovely!”
When on walkabout, the royal family are showered not only with affection but also with gifts.
Sometimes it’s just flowers and cards – and other times it’s personalised pieces of feminist art.
Meghan Markle and husband Prince Harry were in Sussex yesterday and visited Survivors’ Network, a charity in Brighton that supports survivors of sexual abuse.
While there, Meghan was presented with a framed drawing of her rescue dog Guy.
“We had a local artist do an intersectional feminist print of your dog,” explained Jay Breslaw, the charity’s director.

In the image, the dog is asked “Who’s a good boy?”
He responds “A boy who makes every effort to dismantle the patriarchy (whilst keeping in mind intersections with other forms of oppression).”
Meghan replied; “How lovely. Look at the little freckles on his face!
“I love that! This is really special, thank you.”
Long before she became a royal, Meghan was an avowed champion of women’s rights.
She was named as a United Nations women’s advocate for women’s participation and leadership in 2015.
Addressing the UN that year, she said that she was “proud to be a woman and a feminist.”
She adopted Guy while she was living in Canada where she filmed her show Suits and brought him to the UK when she moved over last year.
