Meghan has been a longtime supporter of One Young World, a non-profit organization focused on young leaders. The former Suits star served as a counselor for the organization in Dublin, Ireland, in 2014 as well as Ottawa, Canada, in 2016.

During the event, the duchess joined world leaders and activists to celebrate the youth of today as they tackle some of the world’s greatest problems.

The appearance comes shortly after the emotional documentary special, Harry & Meghan: An African Journey aired in the U.K. on Sunday night. Though it isn't airing in the U.S. until Wednesday, plenty of revelations have come out from the royal couple about their mental state amid lots of tabloid stories and pressures. 

A royal source recently told ET that the "duke and duchess are expected to take some extended family time off starting in November."

This comes amid their decision to take legal action against Associated Newspapers -- owners of the Daily Mail, MailOnline, Metro and more -- on Oct. 1.
