Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Champion Girls' Education in Morocco Visit

Prince Harry of England and his wife Meghan Markle visited several establishments near Marrakech on Sunday, as part of their visit that began on Saturday evening in Morocco.

The royal couple first visited establishments of the "Education for All" association, which houses girls aged 12 to 18, providing them with accommodation, food and support to continue their studies. The organization was founded by Michael McHugo, who was decorated by Prince Harry as a Member (MBE) of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, in recognition of his actions in favor of promoting gender equality in education in Morocco.

The prince’s wife, Duchess Meghan Markle, was welcomed upon arrival by the women of the region and participated in a henna session.

Prince Harry and his wife attended a football match between two teams composed of students (boys and girls) from the Lycée, before a speech by the British Ambassador to Morocco, in which he thanked the Moroccan sovereign for the warm welcome given to the prince.
