British pop sensation Rita Ora joined Prince Harry at a concert to raise funds for the duke’s charity, Sentebale, which supports children living with Aids.
The Duke of Sussex and the singer were pictured hugging at a reception ahead of the glamorous event, which was hosted by the royal’s charity Sentebale.
Prince Harry’s wife, Meghan did not attend the event, which was attended by an estimated 3,000 people. But that doesn’t mean she was not aware.
A message on the couple’s Instagram page explains more:
“Last night, The Duke of Sussex attended a fundraising concert for Sentebale in the stunning grounds of Hampton Court Palace. @Sentebalewas founded by The Duke of Sussex and Lesotho’s Prince Seeiso in 2006 to support the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people affected by HIV and AIDS in Lesotho, Botswana and Malawi. The charity is one way in which both Princes’ are able to keep their mothers’ legacy alive. Sentebale means ‘Forget me not’ in Sesotho.”
“Last night’s concert featured singer-songwriter Rita Ora and spoken word poet George the Poet (George Mpanga), and many other talented artists. Thousands came together in a celebration of African and Western culture to help raise awareness of Sentebale’s work in supporting children and young people in southern Africa affected by HIV.
“In the last 20 years, attitudes have changed as more people understand that the HIV virus is no longer a death sentence, yet there is still far too much stigma, discrimination, and lack of education surrounding the illness. Many people are afraid to access life-saving treatment because they fear what others will think.
