"We all know how good it is to be around positivity and optimsm. This is the world that you guys are going to inherit."
He then added he was saying "you guys," as he feels "way too old" to include himself in the upcoming generations.
Meghan laughed and said, "Stop! We're not old!"
Harry laughed and repeated, "This is the world that you guys are going to inherit," before Meghan added, "And Archie."
Harry agreed, and finished: "It's on us now to make the world a better place, and we are."
This is the first time the couple have appeared together from their new home.
Talking about their move, a spokesperson said, "They have settled into the quiet privacy of their community since their arrival and hope that this will be respected for their neighbours, as well as for them as a family."
