In a heartfelt video message, Prince Harry expresses pride in the award recipients and reflects on how Princess Diana would have been proud of their achievements

Prince Harry recently made a touching appearance via video link at the Diana Legacy Awards, delivering an inspirational speech to this year’s recipients. The Duke of Sussex, speaking from his home in Montecito, praised the group for their impactful work and reflected on how his mother, Princess Diana, would have been incredibly proud of their efforts.

The awards ceremony, held every two years, honours individuals who embody Princess Diana’s qualities of courage, compassion, and commitment to social change. The recipients, hailing from various parts of the world, are recognized for their efforts to make a positive impact on society and inspire others to do the same.

During his speech, Prince Harry emphasized the importance of the awardees’ work and the ripple effect it creates, inspiring others to take action. He expressed his admiration for their dedication at such a young age and the significant impact they are making on countless lives. Harry encouraged the group to continue their efforts, stating that the future depends on their continued commitment to positive change.

The Duke also highlighted the significance of being chosen to carry on his mother’s legacy, acknowledging the pride and gratitude he feels for their contributions. He urged the awardees to stay connected and support each other, as their collective efforts are crucial in addressing the world’s challenges.

Earlier in the evening, Prince William, the Prince of Wales, had also delivered an emotional speech at the ceremony, paying tribute to his late mother’s enduring influence. However, due to the ongoing rift between the brothers, they did not appear together at the event.

The separate appearances of Prince Harry and Prince William at the Diana Awards underscore the continued distance between the siblings, despite the occasion’s significance in honouring their mother’s legacy. The awards serve as a reminder of Princess Diana’s lasting impact and the power of young people to drive positive change in the world.
