Celebrating Queen's Young Leaders on International Women's Day 2019

The Duchess of Sussex joins an International Women's Day discussion panel

“If things are wrong and there is a lack of justice, and there is an inequality, then someone needs to say something.” On #IWD2019, The Duchess of Sussex joined female thought-leaders and activists for a discussion panel convened by The @Queens_Commonwealth_Trust – to discuss areas of concern for women globally.

Her Royal Highness has become Vice-President of The QCT and, in her new role, will focus on supporting woman and girls. The Queen’s Commonwealth Trust – of which The Queen is Patron and The Duke of Sussex is President - exists to champion, fund and connect young leaders around the world. #IWD2019

The Queen's First Instagram Post

Today, as I visit the Science Museum I was interested to discover a letter from the Royal Archives, written in 1843 to my great-great-grandfather Prince Albert.
Charles Babbage, credited as the world’s first computer pioneer, designed the “Difference Engine”, of which Prince Albert had the opportunity to see a prototype in July 1843.
In the letter, Babbage told Queen Victoria and Prince Albert about his invention the “Analytical Engine” upon which the first computer programmes were created by Ada Lovelace, a daughter of Lord Byron.
Today, I had the pleasure of learning about children’s computer coding initiatives and it seems fitting to me that I publish this Instagram post, at the Science Museum which has long championed technology, innovation and inspired the next generation of inventors.
