SEE THE VIDEO: Meghan Markle shares adorable throwback video of her fighting sexism at age 11

In the clip, an 11-year-old Meghan can be seen protesting against a sexist commercial in the 90s.

“Every girl has potential, she has promise, she has the right to learn, the right to be heard, the right to play and to discover, the right to be exactly who she is,” the Duchess said.

“So to each one of you, keep asking questions, keep pushing forward, keep shining brightly. Know your worth and know that we are behind you, every step of the way.”

The ad for Ivory dishwashing soap that had outraged the former Suits actress and mother-of-one had the tagline “women all over America are fighting greasy pots and pans”.

“If you see something that you don’t like or are offended by on television or on any other place, write letters and send them to the right people and you can really make a difference, not just for yourself but lots of other people,” she told Nickelodeon’s Nick News.

“The Duchess of Sussex has been a long time advocate for women’s and girls rights … No matter what age, or what background you have the power to make an impact,” the caption next to the video appeared.

“Her royal highness recently shared a quote during a speech in Cape Town: ‘Visualise your highest self, and show up as her’. To all of the young girls reading this today on International Day of the Girl, that quote is for you.”
