In her speech, she said: “You help at the beginning of life - and ensure security and professionalism in one of the most vulnerable life situations for both mother and child. […] To invest in midwives all over the world is to invest in child and maternal health. It is investing in a good and safe start in life. Yes, it is actually investing in life itself”
On Thursday, Crown Princess Mary took part in High Level Commission on Population and Development ICPD25 Follow-Up to mark International Day of Midwifes. One of the topics of the meeting was how midwives are one of the most important factors in achieving zero maternal deaths.

On Saturday evening, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex took part in the VaxLive Concert to encourage vaccination all over the world. The Duchess of Sussex made a speech where she said: “ When we think of [our daughter], we think of all the young women and girls around the globe who must be given the ability and the support to lead us forward. Their future leadership depends on the decisions we make and the actions we take now to set them up, and set all of us up, for a successful, equitable, compassionate tomorrow. We want to make sure that as we recover, we recover stronger. That as we rebuild, we rebuild together."
