The Duke and Duchess of Sussex - WE Day UK - 6 March, 2019 - Full

The Duke of Sussex spoke in the capacity of his role as President of The Queen’s Commonwealth Trust, a new organisation launched last year that is working in partnership with young people in the WE movement and around the world. His Royal Highness is a keen advocate for young people to be seen as leaders and equal partners in making the world a better place.

“Your optimism is inspiring - you see opportunities where other people see challenges, you seek solutions when others just focus on problems,” said The Duke of Sussex at WE Day UK. “You are the most engaged generation in history. You care about values, doing the right thing, and championing the causes that will shape your future.”

After sharing some inspirational words to the students and teachers in attendance, The Duke of Sussex invited The Duchess of Sussex to the stage and proclaimed, “I am with you, we are with you!”

About WE:
WE is an organization that brings people together and gives them the tools to change the world. A unique family of organizations, WE is made up of WE Charity, empowering change with resources that create sustainable impact, and ME to WE, a social enterprise that creates socially conscious products and experiences that allow people to do good through their everyday choices. The celebration of that change happens at WE Day – inspiring stadium-sized life changing events that take place around the world. A movement of 3.4 million young people supporting 2,500+ local and global causes, we’ve provided more than 1 million people with clean water and built 1,000 schools and schoolrooms overseas, giving more than 200,000 children access to education. WE was founded more than 20 years ago by humanitarians, activists and social entrepreneurs, brothers Craig and Marc Kielburger.
