Harry went on stage in California, while he and wife Meghan have called for donations in support of vaccine equity.
Speaking backstage, Mr Evans said of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex: “Quite frankly they were immediately on the same page. It wasn’t a convincing. It was a conversation.
“They were so excited. They said, ‘We believe in the importance of vaccine equity.’ For them, it was an easy decision to do the right thing because they were so passionate already.”
