Just a few short weeks before his big wedding, Prince Harry has been appointed a Commonwealth Youth Ambassador, according to Kensington Palace.

“In this new role, Prince Harry will highlight and support the work and aspirations of young people across the Commonwealth,” the Royal Family said in a release.

Harry gave a keynote speech Monday morning at a roundtable discussion of young people participating in the Commonwealth Heads of Government activities which begin in London this week. Later this week, Prince Harry and his fianceé Meghan Markle will take part in a reception to promote women’s empowerment, an issue that has been of great interest to Markle in her previous humanitarian work.

Prince Harry said he hope to convene young leaders from across The Commonwealth to discuss how best to make Commonwealth platforms work for everyone to ensure maximum impact.

Harry will begin his new post as the days dwindle down to his long-anticipated wedding to Markle.
