The event was described by the organisers as "an intimate evening at the Palais Theatre where live music, activism, and powerful stories from local and global activists collide."

"I love the energy and enthusiasm of young people, and I care deeply about the issues that Global Citizen is focused on: defeating poverty and defending the planet. I am here to listen, learn, and use the voice that I have to amplify these messages,” the Duchess told People magazine.

The knee-length piece featured a round neck, three-quarter-length sleeves, and buttons down the front. She added a gold metallic chain belt with a drop pearl detail. Sarah styled the piece with a pair of black tights and a pair of black moccasins with a red love heart.

"I hope to learn from these incredible youth activists, share their stories with the world, and raise awareness and drive action to address the key threats to our planet," Princess Beatrice's mother told People.
