Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Attend Queen’s Young Leaders Awards

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended the Queen's Young Leaders Awards on Tuesday night, spending the evening with the Queen.

The event celebrated young people from across the Commonwealth who are making a difference in their communities.

However, it seems that Prince Harry may have been feeling a little tired.

Meghan revealed to one of the winners that he had only returned home at 6am that morning.

Harry had returned from his trip to Lesotho earlier that day.

Marie Coletso Malapa XXIII, founder of the Educate Your Peer Foundation, was one of the winners at the awards.

She spoke about her meeting with Meghan following the ceremony.

“To have the Queen honour your work like that at an event to celebrate us is amazing,” she said.

“She said, ‘You are from Lesotho, Harry just came back from there this morning.'

Meghan said the same to me afterwards.

He arrived this morning at 6am.”

The newlyweds also addressed rumours about their honeymoon destination.

When asked by Mavis Elias, a young philanthropist from Namibia, if they had visited her country, Prince Harry said, “No, we didn't go to Namibia.

I'm not going to say where.”

Mavis said after meeting the couple, “They are very engaging and they're looking forward to working with the people across the Commonwealth.”

Other winners on the night, including Priscilla Razibuka from Rwanda, spoke of how inspired they were by the royal couple.

Priscilla set up a children's clothing project which employs women from underprivileged communities.

“We spoke about the fact that they love Rwanda,” she said.

“Harry mentioned the fact that Rwanda is taking the lead among African countries in politics.

We have the highest proportion of women in Parliament – 56%.

They said they're looking forward to visiting Rwanda one day.”
