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."
