The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are firm believers in celebrating charities with causes close to their hearts.
The young royals are famous for using their massive Instagram following to shine a light on the amazing work these charities perform.
While their most recent post celebrated #WorldElephantDay, overnight they shared another post highlighting International Youth Day.
Taking to their only social media account, the couple promoted three more organisations to celebrate the day, including a female empowerment group who are vowing to #smashthepatriarchy.
Accompanying the series of photographs, a caption outlined the organisations of “young leaders helping our communities at a grassroots and global level – the inspiring individuals who have the power to lead the future, and are moving the needle every single day.”
As President and Vice-President of the Queens Commonwealth Trust, they hope to “shine a light on a few of these change making young leaders of the QCT, who are doing amazing things – not because they have to, but because they want to – a choice we all have in life.”
