Prince Harry speaks at a fundraiser

Prince Harry spoke at a fundraising event in New York on Tuesday (May 14) for the Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry.

(SOUNDBITE)(English) PRINCE HARRY, BRITISH ROYAL, SAYING:

"Almost a year ago on the day before the London Olympics, the Royal Foundation launched Coach Corps. This flagship initiative seeks to mentor and train our next generation of truly inspirational young sports coaches. The aim is that they themselves will then become mentors and role models to their peers and further generations over the years ahead. We now have pilots running in London and Glasgow, which is in Scotland for those who aren't too sure."

The event was attended by a number of U.S. celebrities, including Miss USA of 2012, Nana Meriwether and recording artist Will.i.am.
