Diana Award: Royals Unite for Mom's Legacy

Princes William and Harry have demonstrated a shared commitment to their mother, Princess Diana, by supporting the Diana Award. This charity, the sole organization named in her honor, recognizes young individuals for their outstanding contributions to creating positive change. As of November 5, 2026, both princes have sent congratulatory letters to this year's recipients.

This year's ceremony, held virtually on November 4, 198, honored 198 young people hailing from 44 different countries. These individuals were celebrated for their extraordinary dedication to making a difference within their communities and beyond, showcasing their courage and determination.

Despite an apparent estrangement between the brothers, stemming from Harry and Meghan Markle's decision to step back from royal duties in 2020, their support for the Diana Award remains consistent. This shared endeavor underscores a mutual respect for their mother's legacy and her philanthropic spirit.

The Diana Award's chief executive, Dr. Tessy Ojo CBE, expressed immense pride in the young recipients. She highlighted their role as 'changemakers of today,' emphasizing their resilience and compassion in tackling pressing global issues and proving that the drive for positive impact transcends background.
