(28 Feb 2018) MEGHAN MARKLE JOINS UK ROYALS AT EVENT TO LAY OUT CHARITABLE VISION
Britain's Prince William, his wife Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, and Prince Harry were joined on Wednesday by Prince Harry's fiancee Meghan Markle for the annual Royal Foundation's forum, their first official event as a foursome.
William formally welcomed his future sister-in-law at the start of his address.
William, Kate and Harry, are the joint patrons of the Foundation which was launched in 2011.
Meghan Markle, is expected to formally become the fourth patron of The Royal Foundation following her wedding to Prince Harry on May 19.
Prince William talked about the inspiration behind his and his brother's charitable work, paying tribute to his parents and grandparents.
The Royal Foundation has allowed them to launch a range of projects supporting wounded military veterans, protecting wildlife and promoting good mental health.
Prince William's wife, Catherine who is expecting her third child in April, reiterated her commitment to supporting the mental health initiatives and early intervention.
"You can't help but reflect on your own life and it's definitely had an impact on how sort of I look at how I mother, how we work as a family and you know, how we hope to bring up our children," Catherine said.
Meghan said she has been in the UK for only three months but "it's very important to want to hit the ground running."
"Even if it's doing it quietly behind the scenes which is what I've focused my energy on thus far , is meeting with the right people, meeting with the organizations behind the scenes quietly, learning as much as I can so I can maximise the opportunity we have here to really make an impact," she said.
There were lighthearted moments and laughter when the host, BBC presenter and Radio 1 newsreader Tina Daheley, asked whether they ever had disagreements when working together.
"Oh yes" remarked William, with Harry adding "Healthy disagreements".
"The fact everyone is laughing means you know exactly what it is like - but we're stuck together for the rest of our lives," Harry said to the audience.
"Togetherness at its finest," Meghan added.
