The Duchess of Sussex has revealed the 15 ‘inspiring’ charities which her SussexRoyal Instagram account will follow as she continues to bang the drum for grassroots campaigners.
Earlier this month, Meghan and Harry asked their 9.3million-strong following to nominate ‘forces for change’ worthy of being recognised on social media by the Royals.
It follows the Duchess of Sussex’s guest editorship of Vogue magazine in which she showcased ordinary members of the public who contribute to noble causes.
Mental health charities, bee conservation projects and third-world outreach programmes are among the groups which have today been handpicked from a pool of public nominees.

By giving these accounts the Royal stamp of approval, it is hoped that the profile of these campaigners will swell substantially.
Today, the SussexRoyal account posted: ‘These accounts showcase those persevering at the grassroots level, connecting our global community through a shared lens of giving back and helping one another.
‘We were so happy to learn about them and are now able to share them with you.’
Six months after the Duchess famously wrote sex workers messages of support on bananas, she has now chosen to champion a Kenyan school for girls who have experienced sexual abuse.
Meghan recently penned an article in Vogue explaining why she chose to champion the charity Smart Works

Earth Day Network – which claims to be ‘building the word’s largest environmental movement’ – is the campaign group behind the widely-held Earth Day rallies which this year saw eco-activists demonstrate across the globe.
Showcasing the accounts this morning, the SussexRoyal account posted: ‘Thank you for being part of this collective conversation with us; we hope everyone has enjoyed discovering many of these accounts and engaging with each other on how we can all be Forces For Change.’

Following the announcement of their successful nomination, Art Of Hope – a refugee mental health charity – expressed their gratitude for the recognition.
They wrote: ‘We are so honored to be featured. Thank you to the entire Royal Family for their support toward mental health.’
Australian mental health charity Beyond Blue – one of the Sussexes’ new followed accounts – has not immediately followed Harry and Meghan back.
Of the 15 accounts, only two appear to be based in the UK and several are headquarted in the United States.
