Prince Harry recently connected with the exceptional young individuals recognized by the Diana Awards, which are named in honor of his late mother, Princess Diana. The 20 Legacy Award winners from various parts of the world congregated at the Science Museum in London to commemorate the organization's 25th anniversary. The Diana Award was established two years after the tragic passing of Princess Diana in a car accident in Paris in 1997.
The Duke of Sussex, residing in California with his wife Meghan Markle and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, virtually engaged with the group from his home. During the virtual meeting, Harry expressed his pride in the winners' accomplishments and conveyed his regret for not being able to attend the event in person. He commended the group for safeguarding his mother's legacy and lauded their efforts in shaping the future.
Prince William also participated in the event, delivering a speech honoring his mother's legacy and presenting awards to this year's recipients, including three individuals from the U.S. He emphasized the importance of giving back and extending support to those in need, echoing the values instilled by Princess Diana.
The brothers, Prince Harry and Prince William, appeared separately at the event, demonstrating their continued support for the Diana Award despite their strained relationship. Both princes have consistently shown their commitment to upholding their mother's legacy and empowering young people for positive social change.
Tessy Ojo, CEO of the Diana Award, expressed gratitude for the backing of both princes, highlighting the significance of their involvement as the organization celebrates its 25th year. The ongoing support from Prince Charles and Prince Harry underscores their dedication to following Princess Diana's philanthropic footsteps and championing the endeavors of youth striving for a better world.
