Britain’s Prince Harry while speaking at the United Nations about seeking insight from the words of Nelson Mandela, during a time of “global uncertainty and division”, has urged countries to take action to combat climate change.
Accompanied by his wife Meghan, the couple held hands as they walked into U.N. headquarters in New York to mark Nelson Mandela International Day, held annually on the former South African president’s birthday.
In the U.N. General Assembly hall, Harry said that from “the horrific war in Ukraine, to the rolling back of constitutional rights in the United States, the world is witnessing a global assault on democracy and freedom – the cause of Mandela’s life.”
