"As campaign chairs of Vax Live, my husband and I believe it's critical that our recovery prioritises the health, safety and success of everyone. And particularly women, who have been disproportionally affected by this pandemic."
Her husband Prince Harry, who is also a campaign chair for the mission to provide vaccine equity for all, made an in-person appearance at the event and took to the stage to deliver a three-minute speech.

The Duchess made a virtual appearance at Vax Live
The Duke was greeted by the crowd at LA's So-Fi Stadium with a standing ovation and spoke about the importance of making access to vaccines borderless. Addressing the frontline workers in attendance, Harry said: "You spent the last year battling courageously and selflessly to protect us all, and you served and sacrificed yourselves with bravery.
"The vaccine must be distributed to everyone everywhere, we cannot rest or truly recover until there is fair distribution to every corner of the world. The virus does not respect borders, access cannot be determined by geography. It must be a basic right for all."
Prince Harry attended the concert in person
The concert was pre-recorded last week but aired on select US channels and on YouTube on Saturday evening. Despite Meghan being announced in the line-up, fans were surprised when she did not make an in-person appearance last Sunday, but given her impending June or July due date, it seems the Duchess was more comfortable attending virtually.

As the first large-scale music event for a COVID-compliant audience composed of fully vaccinated frontline healthcare and essential workers, Vax LIVE called for new commitments from governments, the private sector, and philanthropists toward the equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines worldwide.
