The expectant parents shared a cozy moment on stage, as the crowd continued to scream.

The duchess looked chic in a navy blazer, black sweater and skinny jeans, while her husband wore a gray suit.

Harry, who is President of The Queen’s Commonwealth Trust, encouraged youngsters to make an impact within their communities and hailed them as “inspiring.”

“You are the most engaged generation in history,” he said. “You care about values, doing the right thing and championing the causes that will shape your future.”

He continued, “You don’t judge someone based on how they look, where they’re from, or how they identify.”
