Meghan Markle has praised husband Prince Harry’s saying on being privileged - and it’s almost identical to a quote made famous by Spider-Man.
Yesterday, Meghan gave a wide-ranging interview - her first in-person since her bombshell chat with Oprah Winfrey - when she appeared at an online summit hosted by the New York Times.
In it, she talked about social media, stepping back from the royal family, and her recent calls for paid leave to be made available to those in the US.
In the chat, host Andrew Ross Sorkin asked Meghan why she wanted to lobby senators on the issue of paid leave after making several calls and sending an open letter to Congress.
He said: "I'm sure there are people in the audience who are saying, 'I don't understand - she has this great privilege, why is this her topic?'"
And Meghan replied: "You've mentioned privilege.
"My husband always says, 'With great privilege comes great responsibility'.
"But even before I had any privilege in my life, when my life and my lifestyle were very, very different, I always just stood up for what was right."

And Harry's quote on privilege almost mirrors one made famous by Spider-Man, who is known for saying: "With great power comes great responsibility."
Elsewhere in the chat, Meghan also addressed accusations she has used her royal title to call for paid maternity leave, by introducing herself as the Duchess of Sussex when cold-calling senators to lobby them.
She said: "I don't see this as a political issue frankly. There is a precedent among my husband's family, the royal family, of not having any involvement in politics. From my standpoint, this is a humanitarian issue.
"My husband has always said with great privilege comes great responsibility and before I had any kind of privilege, I always stood up for what was right. I've been gone from the US for a really long time, I was in Canada for seven years then I went to the UK. I've come back and I'm a mother of two."
She added that lawmakers were often 'surprised' to hear from her but were receptive.
She said: "I still see myself as the same as I have always been. I've always been a hard worker, people that know me well some of whom are here today know that, I've just always been the same."
Meghan, who sported an all-black outfit, wore a Remembrance poppy as she was questioned at the summit.
She also spoke about social media and highlighted the fact that Instagram has a like button and ability to comment, but not a 'dislike' option.
As a consequence, people either express their approval by hitting 'like', or explain their negative feelings in the comments.
A 'dislike' button would lead to less negative, angry comments, Meghan said.
Her appearance at the summit came on the same day Harry spoke at an event on misinformation on the internet hosted by Wired magazine.
In it he slammed the term Megxit as "misogynistic" and called misinformation online a "global humanitarian crisis".
He also said that he and Meghan would not set up new social media accounts until tech firms take action against internet trolls.
