Prince Harry and Prince William both make appearances for cause close to their hearts

The Diana Award Virtual Awards were held on Friday, and both the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex attended.

The last time the royal brothers were photographed together was at the coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla in May at Westminster, where Prince Harry was seated three rows behind Prince William.

The Diana Award, which was established in 1999 in honor of the late Princess of Wales Diana and her conviction that young people have the ability to change the world, has long received the support of William and Harry.

The Prince of Wales said he was “proud” to carry on his late mother’s convictions in his opening remarks at the start of the awards, while the Duke of Sussex said that “her legacy continues to inspire and serve” in a separate appearance.

“Today, we recognise the power of all young people—the power to challenge the status quo, to confront injustice, and to inspire meaningful change,” said William, speaking from Kensington Palace, in reference to the awards.

“I would like to express my heartfelt congratulations to all of the award winners. Your successes are evidence of your drive and dedication to bringing about change. You are the ones illuminating the path for others to follow as the torchbearers of inspiration and hope.

“And to everyone watching all these stories, please keep in mind the significance of organizations like The Diana Award,” he continued. It serves as a reminder that investing in young people and giving them the resources and chances to make a difference can actually change the world. My mother and I both hold this conviction, which I am happy to uphold in her honor.

Harry continued, “As we come together, I am reminded of the strong belief my mother held in the capacity of youth to transform.

She recognized their special capacity to question the status quo and work toward a society that is more compassionate and inclusive. Her legacy is still a source of inspiration and a model for navigating the complexity of the modern world.

“So many of the many difficulties we encounter are disproportionately felt by young people. The challenges can occasionally seem insurmountable, whether they pertain to systemic injustices, mental health, or climate change.

“However, what gives me hope is the collective power we possess when we work together, the strength in the diversity of voices and perspectives that encompass it,” the speaker said.
