Prince Harry's speech was terrific! It was great that 20 years later, he referenced the young men that his precious mother had met, and now he has met them too and was able to remind people not to forget about them and all of the others.  Thanks for the video!

A heartfelt speech from Harry. Well done! He is a sincere man and I do believe he's proud of carrying on his mother's mission in this area. I think she would be proud that he is and sad that such work is still necessary twenty years on, in spite of the progress made.
