In her opening remarks Meghan explained the sweet reason why she decided to let Prince Harry attend the roundtable discussion.

“Gender equality, which has been something I’ve championed for quite a long time,” Meghan said. “I think that that conversation can’t happen without men being part of it.”

The Duchess then continued to explain why both she and her husband believe it is so important for men to be involved in conversations about gender inequality, “This is something that also is also very key to the way my husband feels – and he’s been working in the space since 2013 which a lot of people don’t notice as much. But that’s what’s really important. You can’t have a conversation about women’s empowerment with just women,” Meghan concluded.

Meghan then jokingly thanked the panel for letting Prince Harry “crash the party.”

The event was held very close to the royal couple’s home, and they made a trip to Windsor Castle—where the couple wed in 2018—for the discussion. The Duke and Duchess met with youth ambassadors from “One Young World” at the event, who shared their personal experiences with income inequality.

Harry and Meghan also met with several representatives leading on-the-ground projects in countries like South Africa, Nigeria, Iraq and Bangladesh.
