What is a teleprompter?

A teleprompter is a display device that shows a speaker's script, typically used in public speaking, news broadcasting, and film. It allows the speaker to maintain eye contact with the audience while reading the text, creating a more natural and engaging delivery. Prince Harry's speech was cut short when his teleprompter glitched, highlighting its crucial role in live presentations.
