Prince Harry praises Nepal amid COVID-19 pandemic

Prince Harry has praised the people of Nepal for their "unwavering" spirit amid the "devastating and destructive" coronavirus pandemic.

The 36-year-old royal spoke in a video released by Trailwalker UK to mark the start of their 100km charitable relay, which has been set up to help support Oxfam and The Gurkha Welfare Trust in their mission to raise money to help the people of Nepal who are struggling amid the global health crisis.

Harry compared the pandemic to the earthquake which hit Nepal in 2015 and praised the Nepalese people for their "sense of compassion" in both crises.
