There will be performances from around the globe. Notable artists participating this year include Billie Eilish, BTS, Demi Lovato, Ed Sheeran, Elton John, Jennifer Lopez, Lizzo, Meek Mill, Ricky Martin and more. Viewers can watch on several platforms including Apple Music, Apple TV App, YouTube and Twitter starting at 1 p.m. EDT Saturday.

Prince Harry previously attended Global Citizen’s “Vax Live: The Concert to Reunite the World” in May and gave an impassioned speech.

“This pandemic will not end unless we act collectively with an unprecedented commitment to our shared humanity,” He addressed thousands of healthcare workers and essential workers who had been vaccinated. He also stressed the importance of global vaccinations.

“None of us should be comfortable with thinking that we can be fine when so many others are suffering. In reality, and especially with this pandemic, when any suffer, we all suffer,” He added.

Harry and Meghan have embarked on additional philanthropic endeavors in the past year, marking milestone moments by supporting charities.

For their third anniversary in May, they announced they were working with World Central Kitchen to build a new community relief center in Mumbai, India, which is dealing with the devastating effects of COVID-19.

When Lilibet was born in June, in lieu of gifts, the couple asked well-wishers to support organizations working for women and girls including Girls Inc., Harvest Home, CAMFED or the Myna Mahila Foundation.

For Meghan’s 40th in August, she launched “40×40,” an initiative aimed at pushing for people around the world to dedicate 40 minutes to support women’s return to the workforce, many of whom have lost their jobs amid the pandemic.

The couple made Time’s 2021 list of the 100 most influential people and posed together for one of the outlet’s worldwide covers. In a feature story about the pair, José Andrés, Founder of World Central Kitchen, praised the couple for not staying silent and showing compassion for strangers.
