Prince Harry helped inspire a group of young people to make positive steps toward social change on Wednesday — with a little help from an exciting guest: his wife!
Meghan Markle joined her husband as Harry appeared at the worldwide initiative called WE Daythis link opens in a new tab with thousands of students and teachers, who went wild for the duchess.
Wearing black pants with a matching, bump-hugging top, the mom-to-be topped the look off with a navy blazer and styled her hair in loose waves.
The event marked the second time Harry has spoken at a WE Day event. When he first did so, five years ago, his then-girlfriend Cressida Bonas joined him and watchedthis link opens in a new tab from the stands.
Prince Harry presented to a group of young people and teachers for WE Day earlier this week. The purpose of the event, located in Wembley, North London, is to inspire the younger generation to make steps towards social change. The event featured a day of special performances as well as speeches from people like former One Direction member Liam Payne, model and activist Naomi Campbell, model Iskra Lawrence, singer Nicole Scherzinger, and WE co-founders Craig Kielburger and Marc Kielburger. All the students and teachers in attendance had all done something within their local communities that made a positive difference.

Prince Harry’s connection to WE Day This sort of gig is right up Prince Harry’s alleyway, as he’s the President of The Queen’s Commonwealth Trust, which acts as a platform for young change-makers to share ideas and spark inspiration.
“We find and fund young people whose bright ideas solve local problems in education, health, the environment and sport. We support those who have set up their own not-for-profit organisations, as well as those who are leading projects that help others,” reads the website.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex met with a group of Canadians in London who showed them how they make maple taffy using syrup cooled on snow on Monday. It came as Harry and Meghan visited Canada House in London to mark Commonwealth Day. The event was aimed at celebrating the diverse community of young Canadians living in London and around the U.K.
Meghan, who is expecting her first child in late April, opted for a green coat with black floral embellishments by Erdem (headed by a Canadian fashion designer!). She paired the look with a pair of her go-to heels — her black Deneuve pumps by Aquazzurathis link opens in a new tab, and carried a Givenchy clutch. The mom-to-be completed her look with a chic side bun.
The expectant parents showed off their sweet bond during their arrival, with Harry chivalrously allowing Meghan to go first while placing a hand on her back as she stepped onto the curb – and she returned the affection, keeping a hand on his shoulder as they made their way inside.
Prince Harry couldn't keep the smile from his face as he spontaneously took part in a children's ballet class this afternoon.
The Duke of Sussex, 34, was at YMCA South Ealing for an engagement highlighting youth mental health issues, but couldn’t resist joining in a session being held for four to six years olds in an activity room at the West London centre.
He gamely stood on one leg and raised his arms in the air as he showed off his balancing skills alongside the little dancers.
The father-to-be was particularly taken by three-month-old Naz, who giggled happily in the arms of her mother, Maria Ahmad, when the prince knelt down to speak to them.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have a busy few weeks ahead of them! The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are, of course, preparing for the birth of their first child, due sometime around the end of April. But most recently, they've just moved into their new home in Windsor!
The move was a long time coming, as the royal couple made the announcement that they'd be leaving Kensington Palace back in November. Frogmore Cottage, where they have officially taken residence, however, needed several updates and renovations. And over the past several months, things didn't seem to go as smoothly as planned.
They were reportedly supposed to move in sometime in March. A royal source told The Sun last month that "it's been all hands to the pump. The builders have worked all week whatever the weather. But they keep making changes, particularly on the layout." They continued, “The word is they’ve been quite demanding, which is understandable as what homeowner doesn’t want their house to be perfect?”
