During her speech, Markle thanked the “individuals (who) stood up and made sure the most basic needs of our communities were met” throughout the past year, which she said has been “universally challenging for everyone.”
“They made sure those around them did not have to suffer in isolation,” she added.

She continued, “We saw the good in people, in our neighbours and in entire communities coming together to say they would not stand by while our neighbours went hungry.”
Markle has been living in Los Angeles with husband Prince Harry and their baby boy, Archie, since the beginning of the year.
