Women need a seat at the table, they need an invitation to be seated there and in some cases, where this isn’t available, well then you know what, then they need to create their own table.”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex in their role as commonwealth youth ambassadors are creating a culture which empowers women to thrive in family and careers.

The Sussexes lead by example. Their staff shows that they believe in female leadership. They are the only senior royals with a female private secretary. A private secretary is the chief of staff. Their appointment of a woman to this powerful position sends the message that women are capable of succeeding in male dominated decision making positions.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are redefining leadership and entrepreneurship. They are creating a pipeline of courageous female leaders ready to take on the challenges in the world. Women are providing global solutions to problems. The stakes are high so the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have to bring attention to this.
