Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are looking closely at issues around youth violence as they decide what charitable interests they will focus on as a married couple.
Representatives from The Royal Foundation confirmed they are now researching the work that’s taking place in the UK to combat youth violence.
It comes after Harry and Meghan visited Reprezent, a radio station in Brixton that was set up in 2008 following a rise in knife crime, and met with young people and mentors from the Full Effect project in Nottingham which helps to keep young people out of gangs.
Later today Meghan will carry out her first official working engagement alongside her future in-laws.
She will join Prince Harry, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at the first annual event to celebrate the success of The Royal Foundation, their charitable trust.
She said: “What’s important to all three of their royal highnesses at the moment and Ms Meghan Markle is that this generation of the royal family is seen to work together collectively to make a difference and make a significant impact on the issues that matter both to them as individuals and matter to them collectively and to society.
Under the theme ‘Making a Difference Together,’ the event held in the City of London will showcase some of the successes of the foundation including the Heads Together campaign, the Invictus Games, and United for Wildlife.
Zoe Amar, a charity marketing and digital consultant says the younger royals are able to use their unique convening power to make a big impact on key social issues.
At the event later the Duke and Duchess, Prince Harry and Meghan will appear on stage together to discuss why The Royal Foundation was set up, the projects they are currently working on, and their ambitions for the future.
