The Vax Live has been marked as a show that will 'reunite the world' with appearances and performances by A-list celebs and will mark the first big public event the pair have appeared at together since their Oprah Winfrey interview.
While it is unknown exactly how Harry and Meghan will be involved in the concert, they have been granted the title of 'Campaign Chairs'.

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.
