Prince Harry Just Said The Sweetest Things About Meghan Markle

In an official speech, no less - by Marina Tatas
  • 17 Apr 2018

Could Prince Harry possibly be more perfect? If this latest official speech is any indication, yes - he absolutely can.

Last week, The Queen appointed Prince Harry the President of The Queen’s Commonwealth Trust, her new youth charity that aims to give young people across the Commonwealth a voice to speak about education, sport, health and the environment.

Prince Harry opened the session of the Youth Forum and in his speech, thanked his gorgeous fiancé Meghan, hinting that she might be involved in the future. That distant sound you hear? Only the audience swooning.

“In my new role, I will work to support The Queen, my father The Prince of Wales, and my brother William, all of whom know that young people are the answer to the challenges of today,” he said.

"I am also incredibly grateful that the woman I am about to marry, Meghan, will be joining me in this work, of which she too is hugely excited to take part in."

"We're a fantastic team and we know we are, and we hope over time to try have as much impact for all the things we care about as much as possible." In this interview, filmed on the day Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's engagement was announced, the couple talk about how the "stars were aligned" as they fell in love.

This hint by Harry could be their very first job together as a royal couple and could mean huge news for how they are represented internationally- and what they can do for global issues.

Prince Harry made a speech at the Commonwealth Youth Forum today, where he spoke about his new role as a Commonwealth Youth Ambassador. "As I travel around the Commonwealth in my work on behalf of the Royal Family, it is striking so see how different this generation of young adults are. You are connected, you have made positive use of technology to build relationships within your communities, nations and across the globe. You care, you want your nations to be cleaner, your planet to be greener, your friends and neighbours to be treated fairly and with respect, no matter their ethnicity, their religion, or their status." #CHOGM2018

The heartfelt speech was opened with a tribute to his grandmother, describing her as “the ultimate source of guidance on all things Commonwealth”. 

“Her Majesty's commitment has meant that The Commonwealth is a thriving family of nations, a common link between nearly two and a half billion people, and a defender of democracy, justice, and peace,” Prince Harry said.
