Prince Harry seems to be thinking a lot about his child's future. The 34-year-old Duke of Sussex was seen attending the 'Commonwealth Youth Roundtable' at Lancaster House in London on Wednesday. At the event, the Commonwealth Youth Ambassador gave a very passionate speech about the youth in the Commonwealth and their role in the community.

"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," Harry told the assembled audience. "The only way to see real progress is not by chance, it’s by change."
