Harry, who is the commonwealth youth ambassador, also spoke about the faith he has in the youth, who will are stepping up to the plate to do the work. “It is clear to me that the 1.4 billion youth of the Commonwealth are the most valuable advocates,” he said. “The power of connected and informed young people is difficult to ignore.”
He added: “However, it is our duty to make sure you have the tools and the support to rise above the red tape, the naysayers, the challenges you face and to operate to the best of your ability. Because, when you come together – the whole world benefits.”
During his visit, Meghan Markle’s husband spoke to youth from the region about the issues they face and the plans they have to make a change. Meghan didn’t accompany Harry to the event, as she spent time out visiting the National Theatre. During her trip, the Duchess took in a performance by students from Edith Neville Primary School.
