Meghan Markle and Prince Harry teach English to Afghan students

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry visited the McGuire Air Force BaseDuring in New Jersey. During their visit , the Duke and Duchess of the Sussex also spent time at Task Force Liberty, home to over 10,000 Afghan refugees. 

The couple spoke with women who recently arrived at the base, which provides transportation, temporary housing, medical care, and support for evacuees.

According to Omid Scobie, the couple also spent time with Afghan children at school, joining a conversational English class (where they used markers to teach words for colours), learning Dari words (like “Tashakur,” which means “Thank you”) and even leading a round of “Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes”.

A spokesperson said Harry and Meghan ended their visit praising the teachers’ “tireless efforts” and reminded them to take care of themselves.
