“My job as your ambassador is to listen and learn from you, to amplify your voices and to bring your ideas to the attention of decision makers,\" Harry told the young delegates.

The couple last week joined Queen Elizabeth for the Queen’s Young Leaders Awards at Buckingham Palace.

Meghan stepped out in a bold yellow dress for the reception Thursday after opting for more neutral shades of pink and white in each of her previous post-wedding appearances.

At the reception, she wore a sleeveless sheath dress from American designer Brandon Maxwell, who has designed for Lady Gaga and Michelle Obama.

Harry and Meghan will join the royal family on Monday for the christening of their nephew, Prince Louis, the youngest child of Prince William and Princess Kate.

On Tuesday, they will depart for Ireland, marking their first foreign tour as a married couple.
