The couple then spoke to students to deliver remarks launching a two-day mental health summit.
Meghan began by telling the audience: “We have got to acknowledge those amazing dance moves” saying Harry was excited and nearly jumped up to join.
Harry asked the children to put their hands up if the words “mental health” scare them or if they know what they mean, before going on to talk about the stigma surrounding mental health worldwide.
The duke told the children the message he wanted them to remember was that mental health affects everyone in the world.
“The more you talk about it, the more you can kick it in the long grass”.
He made the children promise, after Friday, not to be scared of talking about their mental health, and ended his speech with: “It’s okay, not to be okay.”
He then handed the microphone to Meghan who joked: “Do you see why I married him he’s so smart.”
She then went on to encourage the children to share their stories, saying that Lilibet once said to her: “Mama, I see me in you.”
Even though she meant literally, Meghan said she hung onto the words, saying she sees herself in her daughter but also all the students there.
“I believe in you”, she told them.
