The singer, 71, reunited with the Duke of Sussex, 33, at the Aids 2018 summit in Amsterdam, Holland just two months after he performed at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding reception in Windsor. 

“I am honoured to be sharing the stage with someone who has always put people at the centre of his work,” Prince Harry told the audience.

“For over a quarter of a century he has worked tirelessly to fund research services and communities around the world.”

“Today, he has come to Amsterdam to announce his latest endeavour: a billion dollar global partnership to break the cycle of male transition of HIV – particularly in sub-Saharan Africa.”

“Young people are the only age group where HIV infections are rising, not falling,” said Sir Elton.

“We have to do much, much more to bring men, especially younger men more fully into the fold.”

Harry told young advocates from Sentebale, the charity he co-founded: “More and more leaders, they should be using the younger generation and the experiences you have – I’m 33-years-old and I already feel out of touch.

“We have to put power into the hands of the younger generation.

“Because that’s where the solutions are going to come from, that’s where the passion and engagement is coming from as well.”
