Britain's Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, advocated for COVID-19 vaccine access to be treated as a basic human right, as the event was broadcast live from New York's Central Park.

The way you're born should not dictate your ability to survive, the Duke of Sussex said to cheers from the thousands-strong crowd.

NGO Global Citizen wants one billion trees planted, two billion vaccines delivered to the poorest countries and meals for 41 million people on the brink of starvation.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex followed performances by singer Alessia Cara and pop veteran Cyndi Lauper with a rendition of her Girls Just Want to Have Fun dedicated to Afghan women.

Funding announcements poured in between the sets.
