Meghan will then privately visit a classroom at a local school where an after school girls' club meets. There, the Duchess will meet a number of girls between the ages of 12 and 16 who are members of the club. The Teddy Bear Clinic group facilitator will introduce each student and invite them to explain how the club helps the girls and the various issues they deal with.
Prince Harryalso spoke out on the issue of violence against women, specifically addressing his role as a husband and father to 5-month-old son Archie.
“No man is born to cause harm to women,” the 35-year-old royal dad said. “This is learned behavior and a cycle that needs to be broken.”
“So now, it’s about redefining masculinity, it’s about creating your own footprints for your children to follow in, so that you can make a positive change for the future,” he continued. “To me, the real testament of your strength isn’t physical, it’s what’s up here and what’s in here. Your strength is in your spirit, which for me means honoring and protecting my wife, and being a positive role model for my son.”
The Duchess of Sussex alsohosted a meeting with a group of South African female activiststo get a better understanding of the work they’ve done in their communities, as well as the problems they face, which includes violence against women.
