The Duchess of Sussex said: "We should model how we want our kids to be raised and for the world in which we raise them."

She added: "It doesn’t matter where you live. It doesn’t matter who you are.

"Either you personally or someone you know is a victim to what’s happening online.

"And that’s something we can actively work on every day to remedy."

She said: "I learned their story through Netflix and I was moved by it. Meghan is a woman who deserves to come to the country and tell her story."

The vice president added: "Last year we held a meeting on July 25, the day of Afro-descendant women.

"We wanted to invite Meghan, an Afro-descendant woman, to that meeting so she could share her experiences.

"We sent her a letter inviting her, and she replied saying that she couldn't come, but that she really wanted to get to know the country.Since then, we have been working for a year for this visit."
