'The Queen said she was proud of me'

The Queen, Prince Harry and David Beckham have praised "inspirational young people" at the Queen's Young Leaders Awards.

The awards celebrate teenagers and 20-somethings from around the world, some of whom got to chat to the Queen.

"The first thing the Queen said was that she was proud of me," Maletsabisa Molapo said.

She founded an organisation committed to improving the lives of women and girls in Lesotho.

And she was finding it all very emotional.

"The peak was just as I was walking away from Her Majesty, the Queen," she beamed.

"Tears were rolling down my eyes.

"She asked me what I'm going to do with the award and I said 'I promise you I'm going to change the world'."

Watch Maletsabisa explain what Her Chance to Be Foundation does.

The 28-year-old added: "We're trying to give young girls a chance because some girls don't have the chance to a proper education.

"We find young girls who are brilliant but very poor and we enrol them at the best schools.

"We take care of everything regarding their education from paying their fees to their equipment.

"I feel I have been fortunate to receive and education and recognition and with that comes responsibility to make similar opportunities for others."

Beckham wants his kids to take note

Meanwhile, David Beckham told Newsbeat he hopes his children are inspired too.

"What better people to look at than these young women and men?"

And Prince Harry thanked the 60 winners, saying: "You have already been an inspiration to so many, but I hope this award will inspire you to go out and achieve even greater things in the future."

The Queen was pictured with all who were awarded with a medal at Buckingham Palace.
