The 38-year-old featured the project in an edition of for British Vogue that she guest-edited, and during a discussion at its newly-opened second branch, Meghan explained how humans should be viewed as “wounded creatures that need healing.”

She also discussed a society in which, she feels, people are looking for an “instant fix,” and lamented the “culture of instant gratification” that she sees in today’s society.

The comments were made when speaking to a woman named Tanya, who was stabbed multiple times by a violent ex-partner.

The duchess said: “I was talking about this with someone the other day.

“We get into this habit of wanting things done immediately nowadays.

“There’s a culture of instant gratification, of the instant fix.

“But we aren’t mechanical objects that need to be fixed.

“You’re a wounded creature that needs to be healed, and that takes time.”

WANTS TO BE HEARD

Speaking to Bryony Gordon of the Daily Telegraph at the event, Meghan said: “I find that when you strip all the layers away, as people, and especially as women, we can find deep connection with each other, and a shared understanding.

“Our lives may be different, our backgrounds, our experiences, all varied, but I find that in these moments of connection it becomes abundantly clear that our hopes, our fears, our insecurities, the things that make us tick. well, those are very much the same. And there’s comfort in that.”

Duchess’s remarks come after Meghan and Prince Harry discussed their lives in the public spotlight during a recent ITV documentary.

During that documentarywhich followed the couple’s engagement in Africa Harry explained how he felt Meghan had become a “victim” of the tabloid press.

Earlier this week, Meghan reached out to the Labour MP for Halifax in West Yorkshire, Holly Lynch, about life in the pubic eye.

The Duchess of Sussex spoke to the MP over the phone about how public life can be a lonely place for women, and also thanked her for an open letter that Ms Lynch and 71 other female politicians had signed to show support to Meghan over negative coverage she has received.

Meghan revealed this week that she would be watching the Rugby World Cup final with her son, Archie, while Harry heads to Japan to cheer on the national side.

The couple then plan to spend Thanksgiving in California with the American half of the family, before returning to the UK over the holiday season.
