To the surprise of the girls, someone who holds the idea of female education close to their heart decided to chime in. “I know there’s somebody else you’d rather hear from than me,” the 35-year-old Duke told the women. “Hopefully if technology doesn’t fail us you may see somebody on the screen.”

Harry and the women were equally as delighted when the Duchess appeared smiling on the screen nearby. The group began to sing a song in honor of the Duchess as she clapped and danced along. “I wish I could be with you,” she told the women. “We’re in South Africa right now. Archie’s taking a nap. I’m with you in spirit.” Meghan, who shares an education patronage with her husband shared another special message.
