I met with the winners of Queen's Young Leaders and concluded that the affairs of all these people are incredibly important to our society. They inspired me to commit new, amazing acts, which I could not have considered before. For me, this meeting is incredibly important, because to greet each other, as well as to meet with the queen and Prince Harry - it's a great honor. In addition, all these people who gathered in the hall of Buckingham Palace, are able to "charge" their positive examples. It's amazing!".
