MEGHAN’S MOVIE FUNDRAISER
PRINCE Harry and Jon Bon Jovi step out on Abbey Road’s iconic zebra crossing as they take a break from recording a song to raise cash for injured troops.
Harry, 35, and Jon, 58, made the special version of Unbroken last month with the Invictus Games Choir at the legendary music studios.
The rocker, whose parents were both in the US Marine Corps, penned the hit to highlight the plight of veterans living with post-traumatic stress disorder.
They were joined on the crossing – made famous by The Beatles – by Susan Warner who has battled back to health after suffering multiple fractures while serving in
Richard Palmer
Afghanistan. The Royal Navy nurse, from Belfast, has sung in the choir for two years and previously met Harry after the 2016 Invictus Games in Orlando, where she competed in the swimming.
Susan, 60, said: “It was a poignant moment to be treasured. Harry’s humbleness and humility and his ability to connect with people is second to none.
“I was in a swimming costume last time. This time I had a T-shirt and trousers on, and my hair wasn’t in a pony tail, so I was more dressed up.”
Andy Mudd, a former military policeman in Northern Ireland who lost both legs to an IRA bomb in 1989, helped found the choir.
The 62-year-old said: “After I was blown up, I lay there in the middle of the night thinking ‘What am I going to do next?’ And who would have thought I would be singing about being blown up. So this song was very deep in different places for me.”
The games, due to take place in the Hague, Netherlands, in May, have been postponed until next year due to coronavirus.
But Unbroken is available to buy and stream now. All proceeds will go to the Invictus Games Foundation to support sick, injured and wounded military personnel around the world.
THE Duchess of Sussex is the voice of a new film to be screened just days after she and Prince Harry quit their royal roles at the end of the month. Elephant follows Shani and her son Jomo on an epic journey across Africa’s Kalahari Desert. Led by matriarch Gaia, the herd faces brutal heat, dwindling resources and persistent predators on their quest to reach a lush, green paradise.
Meghan, 38, recorded the voiceover in London last autumn in return for a donation to Botswanabased charity Elephants Without Borders.
Disneynature’s Elephant will be streamed on the new Disney+ subscription service on April 3.
