Happy International Women’s Day! Celebrating the impact of amazing women today, and every day. Here are just a few of the brilliant women we’ve been inspired by over the past 12 months. #IWD2024 After her daughter Brodie's death by suicide in 2020, Emma Webb launched a suicide prevention campaign. Brodie was a talented equestrian, which is what inspired @thewebstermwebb’s challenge pulling a life-size resin horse 160 miles from Chepstow to London.

Already in our short time here in Jamaica, Catherine and I are delighted to have felt what Bob Marley described so many years ago – the spirit of ‘One love’ that Jamaica has given to the world and which makes this country so special.

As we heard for ourselves…(1/4) at the cradle of reggae music last night in Trench Town, when the Rasta drums start playing, you really do know how to have a good time.
 
Here in Kingston today we’ve met students & staff at Shortwood Teachers’ College, striving to give children a strong foundation in life (2/4)

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay, a day that we look to raise awareness of mental health around the world.

Ahead of 2020’s International #YearoftheNurseandMidwife, The Duchess of Cambridge has written an open letter to midwives across the country.

royal.uk/open-letter-du… “Next year the world turns its attention to the International #YearoftheNurseandMidwife, and recognising and celebrating the humbling work that you and your colleagues do day in, day out, to improve the lives of others.” — The Duchess of Cambridge

"Our hearts go out to the families and friends of the people who lost their lives in the devastating attack in Christchurch." — The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and The Duke and Duchess of Sussex. “We have all been fortunate to spend time in Christchurch and have felt the warm, open-hearted and generous spirit that is core to its remarkable people. No person should ever have to fear attending a sacred place of worship.”

The Duchess of Sussex will become Patron of four organisations that reflect the causes and issues with which she has long been associated including the arts, access to education, support for women and animal welfare. The National Theatre: The Duchess is a strong believer in using the arts to bring people from different backgrounds and communities together.

Prince Harry & Ms. Meghan Markle are incredibly grateful for the goodwill they have received since their engagement, & have asked that anyone who might wish to mark the occasion of their wedding considers giving to charity, instead of sending a gift. royal.uk/wedding-charit… The couple have personally chosen 7 charities which represent a range of issues that they are passionate about, including sport for social change, women's empowerment, conservation, the environment, homelessness, HIV and the Armed Forces.

Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle are hugely grateful for the many good wishes they have received since announcing their engagement. They are looking forward to the day and to being able to share their celebrations with the public and wanted to share the following details about their wedding on May 19th with you:

Following today's @BBCr4today guest edit, Prince Harry shared his reflections on the programme and what he hopes listeners took away from today's discussions. HRH said: "I’m hugely grateful for this platform to be able to
discuss topics that I think really need to be discussed and thought about."

Prince Harry spoke to his father HRH The Prince of Wales about the busy year he has had, his key focus for 2018 and why he feels optimistic about the future. TRHs also spoke about the environment, an issue close to both their hearts. HRH The Prince of Wales said: "At the root of it all, much of it, is climate change which is causing untold horrors in different parts of the world and of course we sit here in this part of the world so often unaware of what is happening in Africa or the Far East."

Prince Harry interviewed @demishassabis from @deepmindAI about the impact that technology such as Artificial Intelligence is having in helping solve important problems. .@Demishassabis explains that AI "will be one of the most beneficial technologies ever for humanity. Especially in the ways that we will be able to leverage it to make these advances in science and medicine…for things like helping with climate change to solving Alzheimer’s."

Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle have chosen to release official photographs to mark their engagement. The photographs were taken by @alexilubo earlier this week at Frogmore House, Windsor.
