Harry said: “It is well known that Great Britain is a world leader in high performance engineering and motor racing engineering in particular - as well as having some great drivers as well but it is no exaggeration to say that, unless we encourage more young people to study science, technology, engineering and maths it will be impossible for us to continue to lead in this field.”

Following his speech, the Prince literally gave the green light for construction to begin on the exciting project. The crowd cheered as he pressed a button which turned race lights from red to green. While Meghan Markle’s love hit the raceways, his family members were also out and about. His sister-in-law Kate Middleton promoted children’s mental health at the Place2Be headquarters in London, while Prince William met with trainee typhoon pilots at the Royal Air Force.
