These two.

For some, the idea of public speaking can be terrifying – even if you’re a prince.

It’s a big part of royal life and something that Prince Harry is said to have struggled with in the past.

He’s now making an effort to become better at delivering speeches – and it’s reported that Meghan is helping him out.

The Duchess, who was an actress for over a decade before she met him, has been coaching Harry to help him get past his stage fright.

Meghan gives her husband acting tips, helps him with his speeches and directs him on stage, according to a royal advisor.

The difference has already been remarkable, the source told Express.

“You only have to look at the Duke to see how much more relaxed he is on stage.

“He used to be nervous and embarrassed.

“Now he’s confident, uses all the stage and has learned his lines so doesn’t need notes.”

This new confidence was clear on Wednesday when Harry delivered a speech at Wembley Arena for WE Day, a scheme that helps young people affect social change around the world.

Joined on stage by Meghan, he touched on topic including mental health and climate change.

“As my wife often reminds me with one of her favorite quotes by Martin Luther King Jr: ‘Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that’,” he told the thousands of people in the arena.
