Meghan Markle's 'VAX LIVE' speech mentions daughter’s future in post-COVID world: 'Rebuild together'


Meghan Markle made a statement about the importance of coronavirus vaccines during Global Citizen’s VAX LIVE Concert.

The Duchess of Sussex delivered an impassioned speech that urged citizens of the world to get vaccinated and help ensure COVID-19 vaccines are distributed for an "equitable and compassionate tomorrow."

"As campaign chairs of VAX LIVE, my husband and I believe it's critical that our recovery prioritizes the health, safety and success of everyone, and particularly women who have been disproportionately affected by this pandemic," Meghan said in a pre-recorded video message, which was played during the concert’s broadcast.
According to Meghan, nearly 5.5 million women have lost work in the U.S. as a result of the pandemic while an estimated 47 million women are "expected to slip into extreme poverty" around the globe, as noted in the video obtained by The Telegraph. 

"My husband and I are thrilled to soon be welcoming a daughter," Meghan went on. "When we think of her, we think of all the young women and girls around the globe who must be given the ability and support to lead us forward."

The duchess added that the decisions people are making during the pandemic will have a long-term effect on global recovery.

In her own words: "We want to make sure that as we recover, we recover stronger… As we rebuild, we rebuild together."
