Daniela Elser: Kate's power suit move and early childhood work ... (New Zealand Herald)

The Princess' latest endeavour is in stark relief to her brother- and sister-in-law in US.

That and the awesome power of a great pantsuit should never be underestimated. Maybe part of the reason why that is is because of sheer necessity given his dear pa no longer picks up their bills and they have a reported $14.6m mortgage. Can or will we ever see the couple ever mount any sort of similar global endeavours in the same league as this? One lot, which is spread across a range of often grassroots outfits and aimed at making an immediate impact; the other, focused and legacy-making stuff, with benefits that will be reaped by our children and our children’s children. It’s bloody impressive stuff, not least of which is the fact that until now they have not been loudly shouting about their efforts. This week’s Impact Report details the extent to which Archewell has been making tangible, significant differences in thousands of lives, including rescuing 7468 people from Afghanistan via a partnership with the Human First Coalition and helping serve 50,000 meals in partnership with World Central Kitchen.

Kate's heartfelt new project shows Harry and Meghan's problem (Daily Express)

Kate, Princess of Wales, launched a new campaign focused on early childhood development today.

Can or will Harry and Meghan ever begin to play on the same philanthropic field as the Waleses are now? While Kate can dedicate herself fully to a similar project as she doesn't need to be concerned with a "day job", Ms Elser said [Prince Harry](/latest/prince-harry) and [Meghan](/latest/meghan-markle) "don't have that luxury" now that they have stepped outside of the Firm. In an op-ed for News.com.au, Ms Elser wrote: "Shooting a six-hour 'documentary' series, penning a 400-page plus book even with the help of a ghostwriter and putting out a 12-part podcast series all consume a hell of a lot of hours in the day I’d imagine, hours that can’t be spent plotting and planning how to make the world a better place.
