Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have released an official statement addressing a significant global issue, just hours after UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer met with US President Donald Trump.
On Friday, the Duke of Sussex made a surprise appearance at a conference in West Hollywood, California, where he spoke about the critical intersection of business, technology, and philanthropy in driving meaningful change.
In the statement summarizing Harry’s keynote speech, he highlighted the importance of supporting philanthropic organizations while also investing in innovative solutions.
“We need a dual approach: supporting philanthropic organisations while simultaneously investing in companies that are developing technological solutions to address the root causes of societal challenges. Focusing on one core issue at its source, to solve the hundreds that stem from it,” he stated.
During the session, Harry also shared his thoughts on the relationship between the US and Europe, making a pointed remark about America’s global influence.
“One of the things that makes America great is its loyalty and unwavering support for its allies. America’s global influence is grounded in strong relationships and mutual respect, ensuring peace and prosperity,” he emphasized.
The statement comes shortly after King Charles extended a personal invitation to President Trump via Keir Starmer, inviting him to stay at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. The US president has accepted the offer, marking a significant diplomatic moment for the UK.
Harry and Meghan’s remarks highlight their ongoing engagement with international issues, positioning themselves as advocates for global collaboration, philanthropy, and innovation.
