The Duke and Duchess of Sussex took to the stage in New York on Saturday as part of Global Citizen Live, a 24-hour event calling on leaders to to adopt a vaccine equity policy. All they are waiting for is the vaccine intellectual property to be waived and the vaccine technology to be transferred over.
