The Duchess of Sussex has made her first public appearance since the ITV documentary was released late last week. 

Attending in her role as vice-president of the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust, Markle looked in high spirits as she arrived at the Royal Albert Hall without Prince Harry. The Duchess this week admitted she was ‘not OK’ during the hour-long documentary, Harry & Meghan: An African Adventure

The event the Duchess attended brought together 2,000 young people from more than 190 countries to create positive change and discuss some of the world’s biggest problems.

This was the third time attending the global gathering, having first attended n 2014 as a counsellor in Dublin, to talk about the importance of women’s rights and the role men play in achieving equality, and also in Ottawa in 2016 as below with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

During her speech to young leaders she discussed the need for men to also stand up and empower women. “You need men to effect that change because at the end of the day, I think what scares people is this idea female empowerment is somehow threatening. No it’s not. You empower women, you empower the community,” she said.

Over the next four days in London, young delegates will take part in speeches, panels, networking and workshops. And later this week, Meghan will hold a round table discussion with several of the One Young World leaders to discuss the issue of global gender equality.
