Meghan Markle, Gloria Steinem Work Together To Cold-Call Voters Ahead Of Election

Meghan Markle wants to make sure that everyone will participate in the upcoming election, so she decided to cold-call the U.S. voters. Political activist Gloria Steinem joined her move.

Steinem recently spoke about her work with the Duchess of Sussex during a video chat with Access Hollywood's Zuri Hall. Steinem praised Markle before sharing that the duchess has been reaching out to voters by cold-calling them to ensure that they are participating in the upcoming election.

"Meg is herself, smart, authentic, funny, political. She came home to vote," Steinem said.

"And the first thing we did and why she came to see me was we sat at the dining room table here -- where I am right now -- and cold-called voters. And said, 'Hello, I'm Meg,' and, 'Hello, I'm Gloria,' and, 'Are you going to vote?'," she added.

"She is such an inspiration to me, because she has a kind of stereotype hanging over her head, which is princess. The whole idea of princess is a problem. We had a whole revolution to get rid of royalty."

In August, Makers Women released a clip of Markle and Steinem having a conversation in the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's backyard in Santa Barbara. During their conversation, the two women talked about the election and Markle mentioned how women like Steinem fought for equal rights.

"People forget how hard women like you and so many others before you fought for us to just be where we are right now," Markle said.

"If you don't vote, you don't exist. It is the only place we're all equal, the voting booth," Steinem said.

Markle has been very outspoken about the upcoming U.S. election. In one video, she openly talked about the election and encouraged the people to vote.

"We vote to honor those who came before us and to protect those who will come after us because that's what community is all about and that's specifically, what this election is all about," Markle said in the clip.

However, the duchess' efforts for the U.S. election raised some eyebrows. Piers Morgan slammed her and urged the Queen to strip the Sussexes of their royal titles because for him, "they can’t remain as royals & spout off about foreign elections in such a brazenly partisan way."

Morgan's statement received mixed reactions from the netizens. Some agreed with him while others didn't.

"Meghan is American. Telling people to vote is non partisan they are not working royals," royal expert Marlene Koenig commented on Morgan’s tweet.
