After attending the London launch for the capsule collection, the Bahrain-born designer spoke out about criticism the Sussexes have faced, saying:
“I think it’s unjust, and I think that people should really focus on the good work they do,. A good example of that is [that] this is her first official engagement after having had her baby, (and) it’s all about empowering women, all about what she has essentially always sought to do.”
“When she goes to Africa with Prince Harry and their new little one, she is going to do some events there on empowering women,” Nonoo said. “She’s really interested in empowering women around the world.”
