Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may no longer be working royals, but they have not stopped from supporting campaigns they are passionate about. In fact, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been a part of several virtual engagements after their official step down at the end of March.
Now, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to take part in this year’s International Day of the Girl. The couple will be engaging in a video chat with Peace Prize Malala Yousafzai to mark the event.
Malala Yousafzai had been outspoken about her advocate for girls' right to an education. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will join her to discuss the invisible barriers that are keeping young women away from learning.
Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and Malala Yousafzai’s discussion will be broadcast through YouTube and the Pakistani activist’s social media channels. According to Bazaar, the trio’s attention will be on "why it's essential that we champion every girl's right to learn.”
Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and Malala Yousafzai’s live video chat for International Day of the Girl will be aired this Sunday.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry was expected to be politically neutral at all times. To avoid criticisms, Queen Elizabeth and the rest of the Royal Family members don’t involve themselves in politics. But things have changed for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex after they withdrew from their senior royal roles.
After their withdrawal, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle don’t need to be politically neutral anymore. In fact, the Duchess of Sussex previously vowed to be more vocal after their royal exit.
Prince Harry previously told Americans to “reject hate speech, misinformation, and online negativity” as November is approaching during a television broadcast.
“As we approach this November, it’s vital that we reject hate speech, misinformation, and online negativity. What we consume, what we are exposed to, and what we engage with online, has a real effect on all of us,” he said.
Social behavior and body language expert Judi James, then, shared that the Duke of Sussex looked “uncomfortable” as he delivered his message. She said that the younger son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana seemingly knew that his comment will cause a “fall out” in royal circles.
While Prince Harry still appeared to not be at ease with the topic, Meghan Markle has stressed the importance of voting multiple times. The Duchess of Sussex also plans to use her voice in the upcoming U.S. election. She is among the 100 high-profile women who shared that they will vote this November.
