Addressing the gathering, the prince said: 'As someone who is about to become a father, I am acutely aware of our shared responsibility to make this world more resilient and its inhabitants more accountable for the next generation.

The prince, who took in the role of Commonwealth Youth Ambassador last spring, added he feels 'more passionate than ever about the huge opportunity that we have here to empower young people across the Commonwealth.'

Harry, who attended the event without pregnant Meghan, was welcomed to Lancaster House, London, by Lord Ahmad, Minister of State for the Commonwealth.

He was greeted by the lively band One Drum, from Ghana, and chatted with them about his father's recent visit to the country. 

When they stopped he playfully demanded they 'Keep playing', adding: 'You are amazing.' 

The royal was also congratulated on his impending fatherhood by Lord Ahmad.

He said they had all been delighted by his wife, Meghan's, decision to take on the role as patron of the Commonwealth Universities (ACU) and said they believed she was be an 'inspiring and energetic champion'.

'I know there's a small event happening. In your lives but we are looking forward to the Duchess being part of the family,' he said.

In an impassioned speech, Harry too the young people gathered: ' What has struck me the most of that you are changing behaviour every day by the way you are choosing to live and therefore the example you are setting. 

'You are rejecting modern hierarchies, antiquated systems and biases, you are looking at the world with fresh eyes and breaking rules and boundaries that no longer apply to enable a better future for everyone. 

'You are authentic in your passion for social change, you genuinely care about preserving the environment and you focus your lives on working within your communities for the betterment of those around you.

'What you are doing, day in, day out, is nothing short of outstanding and I applaud your tremendous efforts.'

He added: 'My wife and I have spent the last few months travelling across the Commonwealth....in all of these places it has been incredibly humbling to see young people like yourselves are creating innovative and clever solutions to the diverse challenges that you face, whether it be better mental health for everyone, eradicating extreme poverty and improving access to education for girls, or highlighting the very real effects of climate change.

' It is clear to me that the 1.4 billion youth of the Commonwealth are the most valuable advocates. The power of connected and informed young people is difficult to ignore. ' But, Harry continued, it was 'our responsibility' to ensure that young people could rise above 'the naysayers and the red tape'.

Like his father, Prince Charles, he highlighted the issue of sustainability and sustained development as being one of the biggest challenges to the world.

'The clock, as you all know, is ticking,' he said, when it comes to saving the planet.

Prince Harry's speech in full 

For those of you who don't know, I took on the role of Commonwealth Youth Ambassador at CHOGM last year.

And, nearly 12 months into the job, I can honestly say I feel more passionate than ever about the huge opportunity we have here:

To empower young people across the Commonwealth, you who are here in this room today, and the millions around the world who are part of this global collective of change makers.

Some may say it's our responsibility, but I see it as our privilege, to equip you with the tools and the platform you need – to continue your cause driven work at the highest level – driving positive and effective change.

What has struck me the most is that you're changing behaviours every day by the way that you're choosing to live, and therefore the example you are proudly setting.

You are rejecting old hierarchies, antiquated systems and biases; you are looking at the world with fresh eyes, and breaking rules and boundaries that no longer apply to enable a better future for everyone.

You are authentic in your passion for social change, you genuinely care about preserving the environment and you focus your lives on working within your communities for the betterment of those around you.

What you are doing day in and day out is nothing short of outstanding. And I applaud your tremendous efforts.

My wife and I spent the last few months travelling across the Commonwealth from Tonga and Australia to New Zealand and Fiji, and I recently visited Zambia at the beginning of December.

In all of these places, it's been incredibly humbling to see how young people like yourselves are creating innovative and clever solutions to the diverse challenges you face – whether it be better mental health for everyone, eradicating extreme poverty and improving access to education for girls, or highlighting the very real effects and daily battles of climate change.

It's clear to me that the 1.4 billion youth of the Commonwealth are the most valuable advocates.

The power of connected and informed young people is difficult to ignore.

However – it is our duty to make sure you have the tools and the support to rise above the red tape, the naysayers, the challenges you face – and to operate to the best of your ability, because when you come together – the whole world benefits.

As I have spoken to young people on my travels, one of the recurring themes is the lack of mental health support for those under 30 and the remaining stigma and absence of services available.

And while this may seem streamlined, and even niche to some, what I have come to understand so deeply is that all health is interconnected – our mental health, our planet's health, the health of our communities. We do not survive, and certainly do not thrive without the acknowledgment and understanding that in addressing one problem, we are paradoxically solving another. That is the power you hold in your hands.

Lord Ahmad has spoken about the four themes of CHOGM – and if I may, I'd like to highlight the theme that, for me, makes all the others possible – and that is sustainability:

'Sustainable development is defined as the development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. '

This echoes exactly what I was just saying – that it's all interconnected. That WE are all interconnected. That in tackling the core issue, we solve a multitude of challenges. This applies to education, stigmatisation, and our greatest asset – the environment.

There is now, more than ever, a pressing urgency to saving the planet – the clock, as you all know, is ticking.

You are all already doing the work and it is our job to ensure that your views are being heard and acted upon, at the highest levels.

Not tokenistic where one could say 'yes, yes we heard from the youth,' but to actually listen, process, and action policy change to reflect tangible needs and quantifiable results – from you.

You are working to secure your own futures – and those who hold the levers of change are starting to recognise the enormous, relatively untapped value in what you are doing.

This year, as we mark the 70th anniversary of the modern Commonwealth, and with the theme: 'A Connected Commonwealth', there is a great opportunity to harness the talent, energy and intellect of young people as an overwhelming force for good.

As someone who is about to become a father, I am acutely aware of our shared responsibility to make this world more resilient and its inhabitants more accountable for the next generation.

The only way to see real progress is not by chance, it's by change. Let's get to work.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
