Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to attend Stephen Lawrence memorial service

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are to attend a memorial service to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the murder of Stephen Lawrence.

The service, to celebrate his life and legacy, will be held at St Martin-in-the-Fields, London Monday 23 April.

Harry and Meghan will meet Baroness Lawrence and her son Stuart at the entrance of the church before taking their seats.

During the service, Harry will read a message of support on behalf of The Prince of Wales.

This year marks 25 years since Stephen Lawrence was killed, and 20 years since The Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust was founded.

Established by Baroness Lawrence in 1998 in memory of her son, for the past 20 years the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust has campaigned for fairness, justice and equality for all.

The Trust has a continuing commitment to supporting young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to create a fairer society in which everyone, regardless of their background, can flourish.

Last year they supported over 2,000 young people through training, mentoring, bursaries and other activities.

At the Memorial Service, Sir Lenny Henry will interview three young beneficiaries of the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust.
