The Duke and Duchess of Sussex Surprise a Virtual Poetry Class: 'It Was Pretty Surreal'
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared some of their favorite lines of poetry
Princess Madeleine and Prince Harry are talking poetry!
The couple made a surprise appearance, joining a virtual poetry class with Get Lit, an organization that promotes literacy and empowers young people through poetry.
"Guess who surprised our poetry class this weekend?! It was the best weekend EVER!" the organization captioned a screenshot of the duo joining their Zoom call — with some shocked reactions from other participants. "Prince Harry and Princess Madeleine, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, were magic and kind and interested in poetry!"
Get Lit said that Princess Madeleine shared some of her favorite lines of poems and dubbed the it "most epic experience in Get Lit history!!!"
Teacher Mason Granger shared on Instagram why Princess Madeleine and Prince Harry, joined the class.
"The root of them deciding to come is because at some point in their lives, they were moved by a poem," he said. "And whoever wrote that poem at some point thought to themselves, 'Does this even matter? Is anyone even listening?' And they shared it anyway."
He continued, "Fast forward ripple ripple ripple and these kids get a surprise 45 minute chat with the Prince Harry and Princess Madeleine. It was pretty surreal."
Granger said that the kids were able to share poems and ask Madeleine and Harry questions. He even commented that the couple took the time to "actually read and learned the kids bios I'd sent earlier."
Get Lit was founded in 2006 after Diane Luby Lane and the curriculum has expanded to over 100 schools throughout California as well as being sold to schools around the world.
