After they were greeted Saturday evening in Rabat by Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made a trip Sunday to Asni in the Atlas Mountains where they met rural girls from the region. The British royal couple met young girls at “Dar Asni 1”, the first boarding school set-up by the NGO Education for All in the small town near Marrakech. They also visited “Dar Asni 3”, another boarding school run by Education for All that hosts girls aged between 8 and 12 years. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex “will see work being done to promote girl’s education, empower young people and support children from disadvantaged backgrounds”, Kensington Palace had said when announcing the visit to Morocco. On this occasion, British ambassador to Morocco, Thomas Reilly, announced that sport equipment will be donated to the school.
