The decision made by Prince Harry<\/strong> and the beautiful Meghan Markle<\/strong> on January 8th, about the desire to abandon the real burdens (and honours) to become economically independent, has caused quite a stir… but it is not the first time! In history, in fact, there have been many princesses and princes who have renounced the throne<\/strong> and, very often, love is considered the greatest accused. Of the few monarchies left in the world, there are not even thirty, there have been many cases of those who preferred to lead a normal life<\/strong>, preferred to choose for themselves, despite this entailing the renunciation of what until some time ago was the perfect happy ending of our favourite fairy tales.<\/p>\n

Just over one week ago, The Duchess of Sussex announced the launch of #TheSmartSet, an initiative to support the women of\u00a0@SmartWorksCharity. In just eight days, your active support has helped equip the women of Smart Works with enough units from this capsule collection to help for a full year!\u00a0Though many of the items sold out quickly, most are being restocked so you can continue to play your part. In partnership with\u00a0\u00a0@InsideJigsaw,\u00a0@JohnLewisandPartners,\u00a0@MarksandSpencer and\u00a0@MishaNonoo, this project utilises the 1:1 model where for each item purchased, the same item is donated to empower these women as they mobilise into the workforce. There is still one more week, so please continue to spread the word and know that your small contribution is having a BIG impact in helping women in the community! Thank you for your continued support – more updates soon!<\/a><\/p>\n
