The Duchess of Cambridge speaks to Jasmine Harrison on World Record for International Women’s Day

The Duchess of Cambridge called Antigua last week to congratulate Jasmine Harrison on becoming the youngest woman to solo row the Atlantic. Jasmine completed the record-breaking 3,000-mile row on 20th February aged 21, representing team RudderlyMad to raise money for ShelterBox and the Blue Marine Foundation. The journey took her 70 days, three hours, and 48 minutes. On the call the pair discussed how celebrating and elevating awareness of this achievement can work to challenge perceptions around what women are capable of, in addition to providing the motivation to pursue ambitious goals.
