Yahoo Movies Where to buy Meghan Markle’s ‘Raising the Future’ T-shirt and similar slogan styles
Get your hands on the royal’s tee before it sells out
(Apple TV/The Independent)The Duchess of Sussex is a fan of wearing outfits that are meaningful or which make big statements, from the “woman power necklace” she wore for Global Citizen’s Vax Live concert, to her love of sustainable brands.
So, it should come as no surprise that the royal sent an empowering message to mothers everywhere with her most recent clothing choice.
Meghan showed off her remote working wardrobe in a brief cameo in the trailer for Prince Harry and Oprah Winfrey’s new Apple TV+ series The Me You Can’t See.
In the clip, the duchess can be seen smiling next to her husband during a video call at their home wearing a slogan T-shirt that reads “Raising the Future”, in a sweet nod to her son Archie and her daughter, who is due to be born at the end of spring.
The top in question is designed by UK-based independent fashion brand Mère Soeur, which was founded by Carrie Anne Roberts. After spotting Meghan wearing her design, the entrepreneur took to Instagram to express her joy, writing: “If you know how my brand started and why then you’ll understand why I shed a small happy tear just now. Endlessly grateful to be here always.”
At the time of writing, the white graphic tee, which costs £27, is still in stock but owing to the renowned “Meghan effect”, it’s likely that it will sell out quickly.

Mère Soeur raising the future T-shirt: £27, Meresoeur.com
Meghan’s T-shirt is designed by the feminist-inspired “mama merch” brand MeÌre Soeur, which translates to “Mother, Sister.”
Made in the UK and printed on what the brand describes as “earth positive” tees, the design has a classic crewneck with short sleeves and the phrase “Raising the Future” printed across the front in all caps.
“However you choose to do it, whatever your parenting choices, we're all doing it,” the brand writes in the T-shirt’s product description. “The greatest and hardest job you'll ever have.”
Available in sizes small to 3XL, Meghan styled hers with a pair of black trousers and a leather belt, but we think it would look just as good worn with everything from straight-leg jeans and trainers to midi skirts and sandals.
This isn’t the first time Meghan has been affiliated with the brand. In 2019, the royal was gifted a MeÌre Soeur baby grow with the slogan “The Future” (£15, Meresoeur.com) during a sit down with mothers and mentors working with the Mothers2Mothers charity in Cape Town.
