Filmed in her garden in Montecito, California, to promote Vax Live – the new campaign of which she is a co-chair with Prince Harry – the Duchess said the world was at an “inflection point” when it came to gender equality. “My husband and I believe it’s critical that our recovery prioritises the health and safety and success of everyone, and particularly women, who have been disproportionately affected by this pandemic,” she said.
