Harry, 40, spoke at The Diana Award panel on Monday, September 23, in New York City. The organization is set up in memory of Diana, who died in 1997 at the age of 36, and aims to empower young people to lead change through a range of initiatives.
Every year, the organization honors 20 recipients as Legacy Award winners. “I applaud you for certainly, at your age, to be on this stage, to have the confidence that you do, and to be able to speak as clearly and as passionately as you do,” Harry shared in his speech on Monday morning.
“I know that my mum would be incredibly proud of you guys … all of the award winners.” Harry’s speech was followed by talks from The Diana Award’s CEO Dr.
Tessy Ojo and two winners of the Diana Legacy Award, Chiara Riyanti Huntpea Zhang and Christine Williams. The former royal noted that he wanted to go last because kids like Chiara and Christine give him “hope.”
