It's been four days since Meghan and Harry's explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey last week.
The eye-opening CBS interview saw the Duke and Duchess of Sussex delve into the lack of support Meghan received in the Royal Family during her depressive episodes - particularly given that she'd opened up about experiencing suicidal ideations.
The couple also alleged that there were "several conversations" about how dark the color their children's skin might be, amongst a number of other damning allegations against Buckingham Palace and the UK media.
The deeply personal interview has caused a swell of conversation on social media, with many people questioning Meghan Markle's character and motivations.
In response, footage of Megan as an LA schoolgirl has been unearthed, telling the story of how, at the age of 11, she successfully campaigned to have a sexist TV commercial changed - and the company listened.
For a class project, Meghan and her classmates were asked to discuss the themes and messages of a range of commercials.
It came to her attention that in one of the commercials, for Ivory dishwasher soap, the voiceover was specifically targeting women as its demographic. The voiceover said: "Women all over America are fighting greasy pots and pans."
Check out what 11-year-old Meghan had to say about the "sexist" ad:Meghan wasn't happy about the gender-specific language used in an ad for a product that could be used by people of any gender.
So, the elementary schoolgirl wrote to the product's manufacturer Procter & Gamble, civil rights lawyer Gloria Allred, then-First Lady Hillary Clinton, and Nick News anchor Linda Ellerbee.
Impressed by Meghan's activism, Ellerbee arranged for a camera crew to film a short interview with her.
"I don’t think it’s right for children to grow up thinking these things, that mum does everything," Meghan told the crew at the time.
Her letter had a real impact - in fact, the company behind the ad soon replaced the word "women" with "people".
As an adult, the Suits actress later became a UN Women ambassador, and in a speech for International Women’s Day back in 2015, she reflected on her activism as a young girl.
Check out her speech below:She said:
"My eleven-year-old self worked out that if I really wanted someone to hear me, well then I should write a letter to the First Lady.
"I also put pen to paper and I wrote a letter to my news source at the time, Linda Ellerbee, who hosted a kids news program, and then to powerhouse attorney Gloria Allred because even at eleven I wanted to cover all my bases.
"Finally, I wrote to the soap manufacturer. And a few weeks went by and to my surprise, I received letters of encouragement from Hillary Clinton, from Linda Ellerbee, and from Gloria Allred."
Meghan went on to explain that the kid's news program sent a camera crew to her home so that she could share her frustration with a larger audience. And just about a month later, Procter & Gamble changed the wording in the commercial.
"They changed it from ‘Women all over America are fighting greasy pots and pans’ to ‘People all over America’," she continued. "It was at that moment that I realized the magnitude of my actions.
"At the age of eleven, I had created my small level of impact by standing up for equality."
Decades later, it seems that Meghan is still standing up for herself and refuses to have any part of her identity be regarded as "less than".
