Meghan Markle talks on gender equality on her visit to UK

• Meghan Markle spoke at the One Young World summit in Manchester on Monday.
• She recalled working with a young woman from Eritrea the first year she was involved with the organization.
• Prince Harry’s wife spoke about the significance of young people’s influence in the world. Said her life had ‘charged significantly’ since joining the organisation.

In her remarks at the One Young World summit on Monday in Bridgewater Hall, Meghan Markle spoke about tenacity.

In her lecture on gender equality in Manchester, the wife of Prince Harry mentioned working with a young woman from Eritrea the first year she joined One Young World in Dublin. She said, “She had escaped her home country, fleeing with bullets fired above her head. I still remember it so well.”

‘I remember my shock, and I also remember her courage, my recognition of how much continues to go on each day with so many turning a blind eye. And yet despite all odds, she like so many still persevered,’ she continued.

“My husband has long advocated for important and necessary impact in the world, focusing a huge part of his life’s work on the youth,” Meghan said in another reflection on the significance of young people’s influence in the world.

‘So for both of us, bearing witness to the power you hold in your hands and the unbridled enthusiasm and energy that you have to see things come to fruition — it is just an absolute privilege.’

She went on: ‘But One Young World saw in me what I wanted to see fully in myself, they saw in me just as I see in you the present and the future.’

‘We often here people say the time is now but I’m going to double down on that by saying your time is now. The important work can’t wait for tomorrow.’

As a result of becoming a mother in 2019, Archie and Lilibet’s mother claimed that by 2019 her life had ‘considerably changed’: “I joined you in London in 2019 and by that point, my life had charged rather significantly,” she said. “I was now married and I was now a mum. My world view had expanded exponentially, seeing the global community through the eyes of my child.

‘And I would ask, “what is this world he would come to adopt? And what can we do, what can I do to make it better”.

She continued: ‘I am thrilled that my husband is able to join me this time, to be able to see and witness firsthand my respect for this organisation and all that it provides as well as accomplishes.’

Meghan expressed her thoughts on One Young World, stating that it had been “an integral part of my life” for a long time before to meeting Prince Harry. “To meet again here, on UK soil, with him by my side makes it all feel full circle.”

Prior of giving her speech, Harry’s darling was allowed to speak with some of the attendees. The meeting, she said, was ‘incredibly inspiring,’ and ‘resounding themes came up’ around ‘representation, inclusion, and access.’

Meghan said: “You are the future. I would like to add to that, you are also the present, you are the ones driving the positive and necessary change needed across the globe now in this very moment.”
