The Duchess didn't seem overly concerned, and smiled and waved at the crowd as she was escorted out.

A royal aide told Daily Mail that Markle "met everyone she was meant to meet and left," and explained that she was removed due to a "management issue."

The Duchess said that as a university graduate, she knows the "feeling of pride and excitement that comes with attending university," and added that she's also aware of the challenges.

She explained: "It was through scholarships, financial aid programs and work-study where my earnings from a job on campus went directly towards my tuition – that I was able to attend university."

She underlined that was all worth the effort and highlighted that it's vital for women to have access to higher education.

Harry listened to her speech and was in admiration of his wife, telling the students that there he was no way he could follow up on that.
