Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, championed the underdogs even as a little girl. Her former teacher from California shared in the documentary Meghan for President that Prince Harry's wife showed leadership qualities early on.
Ilise Faye, the head teacher at Hollywood Schoolhouse, shared that Meghan stood up for what she believed in at a young age. She recalled a time when the duchess organized a protest about the Gulf War after learning that her friend's brother was going to be stationed in the Middle East.
When Meghan's friend became upset of the possibility of losing his brother in the war, the duchess took it upon herself to make posters. It had the words "Peace and harmony for the world," which they used at the protest.
The teacher described Meghan as an "incredibly clever, driven focused" student who desired to bring about change. Meghan's sorority sister, Liz Kores, also talked about the duchess' activism while they were in school.
Lores shared that when she rounded up volunteers for an organization in college, Meghan Markle was one of the first to raise her hand. They joined the Glass Slipper Project, which provided prom dresses to underprivileged girls.
Meghan's friend recalled how the duchess would not give up when they could not find a dress for one girl. She initiated looking for clothes on every possible rack until they could find one for the girl who needed it. For Lores, it was like Meghan has been helping people ever since.
Prince Harry's wife was exposed to doing charity work by her parents, Doria Ragland and Thomas Markle. They would volunteer at soup kitchens as a family and she carried on this activism even when she became a star on the TV series Suits.
The documentary also featured an unseen footage of the Duchess of Sussex protesting in the streets as a 10-year-old. It also delved on the theory that Meghan may run as U.S. president someday because she has not given up on her American citizenship.
One of her former schoolmates said that if actors and Hollywood stars like Ronald Reagan, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Donald Trump were able to enter politics then Meghan could also do what they did. Nick Bullen, the documentary's executive producer, said that while there is no clear indication for Meghan to run for office, her drive and desire to help might one day impact the world on a larger scale.
