Meghan at 40: is she about to enter her power decade?

As an avid fan of Maya Angelou, the Duchess of Sussex will probably be familiar with the American poet and civil rights activist’s thoughts on turning 40.
“When I passed 40 I dropped [the] pretence,” Angelou wrote, “Cause men like women who got some sense.”
As she marks her big 4-0 this week, those words will surely resonate with Meghan, a woman very much in command of her own future. On the verge of entering what could prove to be her most powerful decade to date, the next 10 years will no doubt be pivotal for the mother of two as she continues to build on her career outside The Firm.
