“In terms of gender equality, which has been something I have championed for quite a long time, you know I think that conversation can’t happen without men being part of it,” Meghan told the audience.
“And this is something that is also very key to the way my husband feels and he has been working in this space since 2013, which a lot of people don’t notice as much. I think that’s what’s really important. You can’t have a conversation about women’s empowerment with just women.
“And so it seemed to make complete sense to let him join today. Thank you for letting him crash the party.”
Meghan attended the Royal Albert Hall in London on Tuesday to support young leaders across the globe, by attending the Opening Ceremony of the One Young World Summit.
The mother looked chic in a purple midi dress with long sleeves by Aritzia, and wearing her hair in a bouncy blowout, the Duchess looked like she had not a care in the world.
One Young World Summit brings together 2000 young people from 190 countries across the world who are considered 'young leaders'. One Young World helps encourage the next generation to be responsible and effective leaders and is a cause the former Suits actress has been passionate about for years.
Meghan first became one of the One Young World counsellors in 2014, attending her first summit in Dublin of that same year.
