The Duchess of Sussex has revealed the 15 ‘inspiring’ people and 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, dog shelter organisations 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.

The Rafiki Mwema campus in Nakuru aims to help their ‘understand their frightening experience and allow them to know that they are not to blame’.

And just days after the Sussexes announced that they will not have any more than two children to reduce the ecological burden on the planet, they have selected an environmental group to follow on Instagram.

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.
