Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, will visit Indianapolis this fall

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and wife of Prince Harry, will be the featured guest at a Women's Fund of Central Indiana event Nov. 29 at the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown.

"The Power of Women: An Evening with Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex" will include an interview conducted by Rabbi Sandy Sasso, the first woman rabbi ordained by the Reconstructionist Judiasm movement. She previously led Congregation Beth-El Zedeck in Indianapolis.

The duchess, formerly known as Meghan Markle, and her husband withdrew from British royal family duties and moved to California in 2020 with their two young children. In addition to various philanthropic involvements, she is an actress, author and podcast host.

Tables of 10 are available through womensfund.org for $5,000, half of which is tax deductible. A Women's Fund news release notes proceeds from the event, running from 5-8:30 p.m., will support its mission "to create equitable and sustainable change for all women and girls no matter of their race, place or identity."

Women’s Fund of Central Indiana is a special interest fund of Central Indiana Community Foundation. Previous guests at Women's Fund events include Michelle Obama and Soledad O'Brien.

Anyone attending will need to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 or a negative PCR test taken with 48 hours of the event. Photography is not allowed.
