Meghan, Duchess of Sussex joined high school students at the site of an historic fight for pay equality to celebrate International Women's Day, telling them they were entitled to "speak up for what is right," EDNews reports citing CNN.
Meghan visited the Robert Clack Upper School in Dagenham, London, on Friday to "celebrate the achievements of women" ahead of International Women's Day on Sunday, Buckingham Palace said Saturday in a statement.
"It is such an honor for me to be here today. When we thought about what I wanted to do for International Women's Day this year, for me it was incredibly important to be with the women of our future," Meghan said during a special assembly.
Meghan's appearance comes as part of a final series of royal engagements she and her husband, Prince Harry, are participating in before their planned withdrawal from life in the public eye as senior members of the royal family on March 31.
