Prince William and Prince Harry are once again separately offering their congratulations to the winners of the Diana Award, created in memory of their late mother.
The Prince of Wales wrote a letter, which was sent by mail on Wednesday, praising the "extraordinary" recipients for their "kindness and compassion," and telling them: "My mother... would be immensely proud of you." In his letter, Prince William wrote: "Congratulations on receiving the Diana Award! I am very proud of the impact each of you has had in your communities and beyond. You are driven by kindness and compassion, and through them you are changing the world for the better."
Diana Award Anniversary
"In this special year commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Diana Award, it is wonderful to see how young people from around the world are being recognized."
He added: "At times, the world can seem like an uncertain and unfamiliar place, and I know many of you have had to work hard to overcome barriers and achieve positive change. Nevertheless, I am encouraged to see what inspiring young people like you can achieve."
William also said that his mother "would be immensely proud of you. I hope this award helps you continue to defend your cause and support those around you. Thank you for your dedication. You are all extraordinary."
Message from Prince Harry
While the Duke of Sussex will talk about how Diana’s vision of the world still inspires him as he describes the challenges the world faces: “My mother’s belief in the power of young people to drive positive change continues to inspire me. Regardless of the challenges we face, whether it’s climate change, mental health, or systemic injustices, her legacy and the efforts of young people to inspire more action in the world fill me with hope.”
