She is also a close friend of Oprah Winfrey and credits Gwyneth Paltrow and Melinda Gates as confirmed fans of her works.

Harry continued in his video call to encourage personal vulnerability.

He said: “Five years ago, six years ago, talking about your mental health was a sign of weakness. Just as much as vulnerability was a form of weakness.

“If we’re all able to show our vulnerability that doesn’t mean you are weak, if anything I believe that shows mostly your strength.

“If you are so in-touch with your emotions that you know where you are on each day, well that’s a superpower.”

Meghan has long been a fan of Brené’s and even included an essay of hers in her September 2019 guest edited Vogue.

The essay “Speak Your Truth. Follow Your Wild Heart” examines online trolls and how she has combatted them over the years.
