Pregnant Meghan & Harry first TV appearances since Oprah interview at Vax Live

Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex and his wife Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex led an all-star line up of international music and film stars to raise money and call for equity of COVID-19 vaccine distribution.

The pre-taped outdoor stadium fundraising concert was broadcast and streamed globally on Saturday.

The Duchess of Sussex, 39, showed off her baby bump as she spoke about issues concerning the coronavirus pandemic at the Vax Live concert.

Meghan, who is expecting her second child, acted as a campaign chair of the event to support the global vaccination effort with Prince Harry.

In her speech the Duchess, who quit as a senior royal last year to live in California, claims the pandemic has "disproportionately affected" women across the globe.

She claims Covid has wiped out a generation of progress for women during her first TV appearance since her Oprah interview.

Speaking via video message, she said: "The past year has been defined by communities coming together tirelessly and heroically to tackle Covid-19. We’ve gathered tonight because the road ahead is getting brighter.

"But it’s going to take every one of us to find our way forward. 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 disproportionately affected by this pandemic.”
