Britain’s Prince Harry and Meghan met on Saturday with a top UN official amid the world body’s biggest gathering of the year.
The royals came to UN headquarters to speak with Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed. All three were due to appear later Saturday at the Global Citizen concert in New York’s Central Park.
“It was a lovely meeting,” Meghan said as the couple left the UN headquarters.
The UN said Mohammed commended the couple’s efforts to promote vaccine equity worldwide and hailed priorities they and the UN share, including climate, women’s economic empowerment, youth engagement and mental health.
Meghan and Harry are set to press for vaccine equity during the star-studded, 24-hour concert. It features performances staged in locations from New York to Paris to Lagos, Nigeria, and Seoul, South Korea.
