Malala invited to Buckingham Palace to meet queen
Pakistani schoolgirl Malala Yousafzai, shot last year by the
Taliban for campaigning for girls' schooling, has been invited to a Buckingham
Palace reception to meet Queen Elizabeth II. The queen and her husband Prince
Philip will host the event promoting education in Commonwealth countries on
October 18. The announcement is the latest in a series of impressive accolades
for Malala's campaign for girls' schooling. The 16-year-old is also among the
favourites to win the Nobel Peace Prize, which will be revealed on October 11.
