The Duke and Duchess of Sussex highlight girls education in the Atlas mountains
Today, the Duke and Duchess had a busy day in Morocco!
They started off their hectic second day in the Atlas mountains to visit Education for All and Lycée Qualifant Grand Atlas. Last night, Kensington Palace aides said: "Their Royal Highnesses are very much looking forward to the visit and are grateful to their hosts and the British Embassy for arranging such an interesting programme. They are particularly pleased that they will have the opportunity to meet so many young Moroccans over the next few days."
Upon arrival at Education for All, Meghan and Harry met up with pupils. It was a great chance to see Harry and Meghan interact with young Moroccan children.
Education For All, which goes by EFA, was established to help provide the opportunity of a secondary education for girls from the High Atlas mountain region. They build and operate free boarding house for girl's ages 12-18. There, they offer 3 nutritious meals a day, hot showers, cosy beds, access to computers, study support via an international volunteer programme and dedicated, local housemothers.
The Duchess then took part in a traditional henna ceremony, which is a Moroccan tradition for pregnant women. The temporary tattoo extended from her pointer finger all the way up to her wrist.
Meghan impressed us all by speaking French to a couple students after revealing she's been "trying to get better at my French over the last year".
Next, the Duke and Duchess visited Lycée Qualifant Grand Atlas to hear more about their efforts in education.
There, the couple observed students practicing their English.
The couple then very much enjoyed a football match by pupils.
Finally, at another Education For All boarding house in Asni, Prince Harry invested the founder of Education For all, Michael McHugo with his MBE. He was awarded the award for his work in education and gender equality.
After the investiture, the Duke and Duchess spoke to some of the girls who live in Education For All's Boarding Houses, and are working towards their exams.
Harry and Meghan were greeted upon their arrival by Thomas Reilly's two daughters, Orla, 12 and Elsa, 8. Meghan spoke to the girls saying: "Thank you, that's so kind. They're beautiful."
Once Inside, Harry and Meghan washed their hands in scented rose water, a Moroccan tradition.
Tonight's reception highlighted the work of young people and women in Moroccan. Similar to those we've seen throughout the tour.
