Next Monday, Prince Harry has a very special appearance. Then he will give a speech at the United Nations in New York. Of course, his wife will accompany him when he talks about world hunger and climate change.
Great honor for Prince Harry: According to US media reports, the Queen’s grandson will give a speech to the United Nations in New York City next Monday. At his side: his wife Duchess Meghan – but without a previously planned speech. His appearance is part of Nelson Mandela Day, which will see the royal address an informal meeting of the General Assembly, sources said.
A UN spokesman has since confirmed Harry’s speech to the Daily Mail: “The South African delegation has confirmed the Duke and Duchess’ attendance at Monday’s memorial service.” Harry’s speech is rumored to be about world hunger and the impact of climate change.
The motto of this year’s Nelson Mandela Day is “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are”. Former South African President Mandela died in December 2013 at the age of 95. In 2019, Harry and Meghan visited his widow Graca Machel in South Africa. At that time, they talked about, among other things, “their common passion”: the commitment to equality and human rights, as they subsequently announced on Instagram.
