“The greater problem in the world right now is hate,” Khan said.
“Hate is a human problem that we’re facing, a very big problem. So to highlight that, to be able to connect with them on this heart level, I think is very special.”
“When the gunshots started, we started running towards the beach,” Khan told the Press Association. “It became very clear we weren’t going to make it to the beach and stay alive. So we hid in a picnic area.
“I didn’t want my daughter to die with gunshots and sirens and wailing mothers – I just couldn’t reconcile that those would be her last moments.
“So I spoke really clearly into her ear, and I said: ‘My darling, go inside yourself where all the love is, and stay there. Stay in your heart, my baby’.
“And she heard me, and we laid there together in this heart space in the middle of horror for who knows how long, and we survived.”
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described the attack as an act of “evil anti-Semitism”.
More than 1000 people were believed to be at the event, which marked the first night of Hanukkah, when the attack happened.
The Sussexes have been touring eastern Australian cities, including Canberra and Melbourne, before arriving at Bondi Surf Bathers’ Life Saving Club this morning.
Harry and Meghan were then shown some of the items that will make up a new exhibition on the attack at the Sydney Jewish Museum.
The couple then visited the Sydney Opera House, where crowds had gathered to catch a glimpse of them.
They greeted members of the public, before taking a boat around Sydney Harbour with representatives from Invictus Australia, an organisation that connects veterans through sport and is modelled on the Invictus Games, founded by Harry.
