After revealing her struggles in the ITV documentary, Harry & Meghan: An African Journey, Meghan Markle made another heartbreaking confession in a visit at the opening of Luminary Bakery in London. Prince Harry's wife talked about people's shared "hopes, fears, and insecurities" during a chat at the pastry shop that helps disadvantaged women.
Meghan revealed her distaste of the "culture of instant gratification" in today's society. She noticed how people liked to have an "instant fix" on everything these days.
While talking to one of the women, who was a victim of domestic violence, the Duchess of Sussex told the lady how people get into a habit of "wanting things done immediately." "There's a culture of instant gratification, of the instant fix," she said, per Express.
She also pointed out that humans are not "mechanical objects that need to be fixed," but "wounded creatures that need to be healed." Compared to the desire to get things quickly done, healing takes time to be fulfilled.
Meghan also told The Daily Telegraph that when people, especially women, strip "all the layers away," they can find their deep connection to each other and shared understanding. Although everyone's life is different, they are all bounded by their similar fears, hopes, and insecurities that make them clicked.
Meanwhile, Meghan also talked about the things she learned since she arrived in the U.K. She noticed that people always have certain expectations when she goes to any events. Hence, she makes sure that she is always relaxed, chilled, and kind every time she arrives.
So, to share her experience at the Luminary Bakery, Meghan posted a video of her visit on the Sussexes' Instagram page. According to the former Suits star, it was an extraordinary moment for her to acknowledge the spirit of the bake shop's project. Its one-of-a-kind business model aims to extend a hand to all the women who experienced unfortunate circumstances, like abuse, poverty, trafficking, and marginalization, among others.
Luminary Bakery gives them a chance to acquire a job skill and confidence to succeed. Having the opportunity to be at the pâtisserie's flagship store earlier this year and featuring it on Meghan's guest-edited September issue of British Vogue, she was proud to be at the opening of its second shop.
Meghan saw the new addition as a big help for the organization to provide more services, support, and mentoring to more women. She also said that Luminary Baker is a "beautiful example of community and uplifting those during hardship for the greater good."
