‘Over the past year, our world has experienced pain, loss, and struggle—together. Now we need to recover and heal—together. We can’t leave anybody behind,’ Harry and Meghan wrote on their Archewell website.
‘We will all benefit, we will all be safer, when everyone, everywhere has equal access to the vaccine.’
The Duke and Duchess continued, ‘We must pursue equitable vaccine distribution, and in that, restore faith in our common humanity. This mission couldn’t be more critical or important.’
The concert announcement comes after Prince Harry returned his and Meghan’s LA home after jetting back to the UK for Prince Philip’s funeral.
It was thought that his reunion with the Royal Family had helped to ‘break the ice’ between him, Prince William and Prince Charles, amid their growing tensions following the Oprah interview.
It’s now been claimed that Prince Harry may decide not to return to the UK as planned in the summer, to join William for Princess Diana’s memorial unveiling.
