Meghan Markle talks about ‘world she comes from’ as she announces new job in finance

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have announced their ambitious new jobs working in the world of finance.

They have revealed they have become “impact partners” and investors of a sustainable investment firm called Ethic based in New York.

The pair announced the move on their Archewell website and said the roles would help them “put their values into action”.

A statement from the couple said: “When we invest in each other we change the world…

“Be it through the investment of time (as with mentoring), investment in community (as with volunteering), or the investment of funds (for those who have the means to), our choices—of how and where we put our energy—define us as a global community.

“We believe it’s time for more people to have a seat at the table when decisions are made that impact everyone. We want to rethink the nature of investing to help solve the global issues we all face.

“Our impact partnership with Ethic is one of the ways we put our values in action.”

It is believed that the couple were introduced to the fintech asset manager, which has $1.3billion under management, by friends. It is unknown how much they have invested or what they are being paid.
