Nobel Laureate Malala Yousafzai Stuns In Red As She Features On British Vogue Cover

Malala Yousafzai says going to university “finally” gave her some time for herself – including eating McDonald’s and playing poker.

The Nobel Prize winner, 23, gave a wide-ranging interview to British Vogue and features on the cover of the magazine’s July issue.

Ms Yousafzai graduated from Oxford University last year.

“I was excited about literally anything – going to McDonald’s or playing poker with my friends,” she said.

“I was enjoying each and every moment because I had not seen that much before. I had never really been in the company of people my own age.”

Ms Yousafzai was shot in the head by Taliban militants when she was 14, after campaigning for girls to be educated in her native Pakistan.

She said she had “never really been in the company of people my own age because I was recovering from the incident, and travelling around the world, publishing a book and doing a documentary, and so many things were happening”.

“At university I finally got some time for myself.”
