'Honor her, remember her, act for her': Meghan Markle calls Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg 'a true inspiration'

The Duchess of Sussex shared a statement on Saturday in memory of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died on Friday at age 87 due to complications with metastatic pancreatic cancer.
Ginsburg, who was the second female appointed to the Supreme Court, served for 27 years.
Meghan Markle's statement, which was obtained by Insider via an email from representatives for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, honors Ginsburg's legacy and references the justice as a source of inspiration for the Duchess.
"With an incomparable and indelible legacy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg will forever be known as a woman of brilliance, a Justice of courage, and a human of deep conviction," the statement said. "She has been a true inspiration to me since I was a girl. Honor her, remember her, act for her."
Since moving to the United States, Markle has veered from traditional royal norms of not speaking about political affairs by encouraging Americans to vote.
While she hasn't shared her political beliefs, in a When All Women Vote virtual event, Markle said that "we all know what's at stake" in this year's US presidential election.
