Meghan Markle will vote in the presidential election in November because she knows “what it’s like to feel voiceless.”

The Duchess of Sussex opened up about what’s driving her to the polls in a new interview with Marie Claire.

“I know what it’s like to have a voice, and also what it’s like to feel voiceless,” said Markle, 39. “I also know that so many men and women have put their lives on the line for us to be heard. And that opportunity, that fundamental right, is in our ability to exercise our right to vote and to make all of our voices heard.”

The mom of son Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, 1, was born in Los Angeles and could cast her vote in California. Sources told Page Six she and Prince Harry have secretly bought a house in Santa Barbara.

“One of my favorite quotes, and one that my husband and I have referred to often, is from Kate Sheppard, a leader in the suffragist movement in New Zealand, who said, ‘Do not think your single vote does not matter much. The rain that refreshes the parched ground is made up of single drops,’” Markle added. “That is why I vote.”
