Speaking at the Commonwealth Youth Forum in London, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry confirmed their commitment to fighting for LGBTQ rights, saying they will prioritize the issue after their wedding.

The English prince and his soon-to-be wife were addressing the “Powering Our Common Future”-themed gathering of young people.

“Miss Markle said, and these were her exact words, ‘This is a basic human rights issue, not one about sexuality’,” Australian Jacob Thomas told reporters after the event.

According to attendees, the couple reiterated their support and said they would prioritize LGBTQ rights after their wedding.

“Both Prince Harry and Miss Markle said they would put LGBT issues at the front of their work,” Jonah Chinga, an LGBTQ activist from Kenya, told People Magazine.
