Harry comes to the aid of his bride-to-be
PRINCE Harry helped translate for his American bride-to-be Meghan Markle as the pair embarked on their royal Commonwealth duties together.
The prince and the US star were chatting to delegates at a Commonwealth Youth Forum reception in London when Harry referred to using a “Band-Aid”.
Illustrating the occasional language divide the couple may face, the prince, who was talking about finding long-term solutions, said: “Don’t get sucked into the system of putting on a Band-Aid”, before adding “American-style”.
There was laughter as Harry turned to LA-born Ms Markle and explained that the British public call BandAids plasters.
The former Suits star was praised for her work on women’s rights and asked to start up an equivalent to the UN’s HeForShe campaign to get men and boys involved in the fight to achieve gender equality.
Karuna Rana, a Commonwealth Youth Climate Change Network leader from Mauritius, said: “I said she was a great champion and ambassador for women and that she should start a SheForShe campaign.
“She said she’d think about it – right after May 20.”
The pair will marry on May 19 at Windsor, and are likely to spend the next day recovering after partying into the evening with guests at Frogmore House.
Ms Markle was dressed for the warm weather in a cream sundress with thin, black-stripe detailing, by Altuzarra.
