Prince Harry visits World Aids conference in Durban

Date: Jul 21, 2016

British singer Elton John and Prince Harry caused a sensation in Durban’s Inkosi Albert Luthuli International Convention Centre when they both signed the ProTest HIV wall at the 21st International AIDS Conference.

Prince Harry and John were scheduled later on Thursday to host a youth-focused session at the conference. Prince Harry first met various young Aids conference Youth Ambassadors before meeting John and signing the wall.

Harry wrote: “GET TESTED! Why wouldn’t you? Harry.”

Apart from the usual posse of media and press photographers numerous delegates and visitors crowded round to see the young royal and renowned musician John, who is openly gay.

On Wednesday John told the conference that he knew "that certain governments in Africa will not respond to someone like me telling them you should do this, you should do that. I count for nothing as far as that goes".

The ‘Candle in the Wind’ hit singer said if clinics are closed down because they are LGBT "we can give them medicine".
