Prince Harry announced to attend major event – but there’s a royal clash | Royal | News

The event will take place between March 30 and April 2. Harry will give a speech in his role as a humanitarian and mental health advocate. Organizers said: “In honor of Data Privacy Day, we are excited to announce that Prince Harry will join us on the main stage of the IAPP Global Summit 2026.

“In his keynote address, he will share his views on whether today’s digital world is breaking or bridging society.”

Maudry Thursday takes place on April 2 and is an important date in the royal calendar.

The monarch distributes special Maundy money to local retirees every year, and the event is watched by many people.

King Charles has attended the ceremony every year since his accession, except for 2024 when he is absent while undergoing treatment for cancer.

Summit organizers described Harry as a “humanitarian, mental health advocate, environmentalist and military combat veteran.”

They said their work is shaped by efforts to create “positive and lasting change for communities and the planet, particularly in advancing conversations around resilience and recovery.”

They said: “Prince Harry is a respected voice on global affairs and has delivered influential keynote addresses at the United Nations General Assembly and the Clinton Global Initiative in recent years.”
