Prince Harry and his brother Prince William support youth projects through their charitable foundation.

According to the Kensington Palace social media accounts, Reprezent was founded in 2008 to train the youth on socializing through radio amid high rates of knife crime.

Tuesday’s visit was the couple’s second official visit since the couple announced their engagement in November. The U.S. actress and the queen’s grandson are due to marry May 19 at Windsor Castle. NVG
