In collaboration with Prince Charles.
Last week George and Amal Clooney were invited for dinner at Buckingham Palace hosted by Prince Charles in support of his youth charity, The Prince’s Trust.
The human right lawyer must’ve left a good impression on the royal as they have decided to collaborate on a global Female Empowerment award that will celebrate an inspiring woman who has ‘succeeded against the odds to make a lasting difference in their communities.’
The @PrincesTrustInt has launched the #AmalClooneyAward to celebrate the achievements of young women. “It is a privilege to play a part in a project that will draw attention to incredible young women who are the future leaders of our world,” she says.https://t.co/ziTBqJqsd4

Highlighting the work of heroines between the ages of 11 and 30 who have been part of important projects around the world, the first ‘Amal Clooney Award’ will be presented by the woman herself in 2020.
“I am honoured to have been invited by Prince’s Trust International to participate in this global initiative celebrating young women who are change-makers in their communities,” Clooney said in a statement. “It is a privilege to be able to play a part in a project that will draw attention to incredible young women who are the future leaders of our world.”
Despite marrying into a Hollywood lifestyle and being able to call Meghan Markle a friend, Amal Clooney continues her crucial work in supporting those who need their voice heard.

Most recently, she has been working with Yazidi activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner Nadia Murad, who wants to bring her captors to justice and raise awareness of sexual violence in conflict.
We couldn’t think of a more inspiring defender of women’s rights to have an award named after her.
