As the world faces Coronavirus, celebrities, politicians, and public figures have stepped forward to ask how they can support those in need.

On this basis, British Prince Harry and his wife Meghan on Thursday asked internet users to donate money for coronavirus vaccines as a way of celebrating the second birthday of their son Archie.

According to an official statement on Archie's non-profit foundation website by the two renowned couples, they said: "We have been deeply touched over the past two years to feel the warmth and support for our family in honor of Archie’s birthday."

"This year, our world continues to be on the path to recovery from Covid-19. Yet too many families are still struggling with the impact of this pandemic," the statement said.

Also in this regard, they praised supporters and fans for their charity donations on Archie's birthday.

According to Duke and Duchess of Sussex: "Many of you donate to charities on his behalf, and mark the occasion by giving back or doing an act of service — all through the goodness of your hearts. You raise funds for those who need it most, and continue to do so organically and selflessly."

According to international reports,  the latest fundraising campaign is pushing businesses to "donate dollars for doses," and for G7 governments to share excess vaccines and also to make vaccines available at not-for-profit prices."

Similarly, Renowned Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan has pressed the need for the world's united effort to fight Coronavirus and called for help for his affiliated country.

This came after the iconic Indian actor announced his efforts to fight against Covid, slamming the media and the public for its showmanship.
