Last year, Prince William was hailed as a global statesman and ranked as the world leader most likely to successfully unite America. Now, he is tackling a pressing global issue in New York this September. The UN General Assembly will convene a high-level meeting to address the escalating threat of drug-resistant infections. Prince William views this event as a crucial opportunity to call for unified action. He made these remarks at a joint event in London today, hosted by the Royal Society and the UK government, which just announced an 85 million-pound package to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR) globally.
In his address to senior international figures and UN representatives, Prince William underscored that microbial resistance affects everyone, regardless of wealth or origin. He stressed the interconnectedness of drug resistance, climate change, and environmental degradation, citing polluted rivers, antibiotic-laden oceans, and rampant deforestation as catalysts for new infectious diseases.
This marks the first public statement from His Royal Highness on the issue, although his commitment to combating AMR has long been evident, shaped by his experiences as an air ambulance and RAF pilot. Last July, he became a sponsor of the Fleming Initiative, prompting pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline to pledge 45 million pounds towards opening the Fleming Centre in Paddington within four years.
The Fleming Centre will unite global experts to spearhead antimicrobial innovations, with plans for similar centers worldwide. Positioned near where penicillin was first used to treat infections, this initiative underscores Prince William’s pivotal role alongside the UK government on a critical global priority.
