Michelle Obama, Amal Clooney, and Melinda Gates have teamed up to launch the Getter There campaign, a collaborative effort to empower and educate adolescent girls.
This comes as yet another snub for Meghan Markle, who has been excluded from the project.
The campaign is a joint venture between the Obama Foundation's Girls Opportunity Alliance, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the Clooney Foundation for Justice.
Former First Lady Michelle Obama expressed her gratitude towards the two prominent stakeholders for their contribution to the campaign.
“That's why I'm so grateful that Melinda and Amal, two of the world's most compelling and influential leaders for gender equity, are teaming up with the Girls Opportunity Alliance to help remove the barriers that stand in the way of every girl getting the opportunity she deserves,” she said in a statement.
Reacting to the news, some individuals on Reddit praised the credentials of Michelle Obama, Amal Clooney, and Melinda Gates, highlighting their previous professional experience.
They contrasted this with Meghan Markle's lack of experience and suggested that she would use the foundation to pay herself exorbitant amounts of money.

It appears that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's interview with Oprah Winfrey may have cost them a place in the upper echelon of American celebrity.
Columnist Barbara Ellen believes that the brazen nature of their interview will scupper Meghan and Harry's chances of establishing themselves in Hollywood circles.
Ellen pointed out that while it's accepted that such behavior is offensive to the royals, it's also the antithesis of how the mega-rich, uber-influential, notoriously private elite conduct themselves.
Ellen added that this would make it difficult for the couple to integrate into certain circles.
While Meghan and Harry want to join the likes of George and Amal Clooney, Bill and Melinda Gates, Beyonce and Jay-Z, and Barack and Michelle Obama, they don't fit in with the path they've chosen so far.
The A-listers they aspire to join are a discreet breed, living in micromanaged worlds and operating under a strict privacy-first code.
The Getter There campaign is a foundation that aims to inspire everyone to get involved in their work because they know that the entire world benefits when girls are educated and empowered.
It's a noble cause that has brought together three influential women who have the credentials to run a foundation properly.
It's not the first time Meghan Markle has been snubbed by Michelle Obama.
In 2019, the former First Lady invited a group of female students from London to attend an event where she was speaking.
Meghan, who was pregnant at the time, was not included in the invitation.
Meghan Markle has faced criticism for her lack of experience and qualifications in comparison to the other women involved in the Getter There campaign.
However, this does not detract from the importance of the campaign's mission to empower and educate adolescent girls.
It's clear that Meghan Markle's aspirations to join the upper echelon of American celebrity may be derailed by her controversial interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Her behavior is seen as a departure from the discreet and private conduct of the mega-rich and uber-influential elite.
In conclusion, the Getter There campaign is a collaborative effort between three influential women to empower and educate adolescent girls.
