The Duchess of Sussex has discussed a ‘prickly moment’ when she joined One Young World councilors as ‘the girl from Suits’. “I was surrounded by world leaders, humanitarians, prime ministers and activists for whom I had such deep and long-standing respect and admiration,” she said. “And they invited me to sit at the table. I was so overwhelmed by this experience, I think I even saved my little paper card that had my name on it. Just proof: proof that I was there, proof that I belonged, because the truth was I wasn’t sure I belonged. “I was so nervous, doubting myself and wondering, wondering if I was good enough to be there?” But One Young World added, “he saw in me, as I see in you, the present and the future.” “And I want to emphasize that because I often talk to young girls about the coming years. About what you will do, about what you will have to adopt to correct from the previous generations and also what legacy you will leave. “You are the ones driving the positive and necessary change around the world right now, at this very moment. And that’s why I’m so grateful to be in your company today.”
