The Prime Minister of Canada met another member of British royalty recently. It wasn’t a member of the royal family, instead, it was Emma Watson.
The two spoke about gender quality on Wednesday during the One Young World summit in Ottawa. Watson helped create HeForShe, which is an inclusive community that empowers men and women to talk about equality.
Self-proclaimed feminist, Justin Trudeau, wore a HeForShe pin while speaking with the British actress and activist.
The two also spoke about bringing young people and their voices into politics.
Trudeau was present during the opening ceremony of the One Young World summit.
The U.K. based not-for-profit allows young people to gather from across the world to talk about creating positive change in the world.
The annual summit allows the next generation of leaders to meet with national companies, NGO’s, universities and world leaders.
