an enthusiastic Canadian welcome for the
Duke and Duchess of Sussex inside Canada
house Prince Harry and Meghan wearing
Canadian designer Adam met with Canadian
artists entrepreneurs and academics when
we spoke to their royal highnesses team
about an event for the Commonwealth we
thought what a wonderful way to
celebrate both our goals of celebrating
Canadians but also their interest in
youth Julien kowalczyk was pleased to
tell the Duke and Duchess about her work
on a navigation app to help people find
safe routes home it was quite an
extraordinary honor to be able to
present to them
Meghan Merkel is very much you know an
inspiration
arey and Megan were also treated to a
performance by indigenous throat singers
they spend time with Canadian children
at a makeshift maple sugar chef and they
were given gifts for their own child
expected this spring after their visit
to Canada house Harry and Megan joined
the Queen and other members of the royal
family for the annual Commonwealth Day
service at Westminster Abbey
as a founding member of the Commonwealth
Canada was at the front of the flag
procession Christian Norton who's
studying at the University of Oxford was
the flag bearer I think it's quite an
honor to be representing your country
and also being someone from Prince
Edward Island it's not often that you
see people from the island on these
international stages or platform
the Commonwealth countries have a
combined population of 2.4 billion
people more than 60% of them are under
the age of 30 and the Queen is giving
the young royals more responsibility
Harry is the president of the Queen's
Commonwealth Trust which exists to
champion fund and connect young leaders
around the world and Meghan has just
been appointed vice president Youth is
crucial the Queen gets that and she
knows that for the Commonwealth to
survive and stay relevant it's got a
appeal to young people Hartman says the
Commonwealth is an important part of the
Queen's legacy and she's now beginning
to entrust it to a new generation
