QuotePrince William hosted a very special group of young people from around the world at the palace on Tuesday.

The Diana Award, the only charity set up in the late royal?s name, is honoring an exceptional new group of youngsters in the latest Legacy Awards. The inaugural awards took place in 2017, the 20th anniversary of Diana?s death in a car crash in Paris.

After meeting William, 37, at Kensington Palace, the 20 honorees are set to pick up their awards from Diana?s brother Charles Spencer at a glittering dinner in Greenwich, London.

While the recipients were born after Diana's death in 1997 they understand that their work honors her legacy. :happy:
QuoteAll the Legacy Award recipients ? who come from across the U.K., Canada, Malaysia, Nigeria, Tanzania, Nepal and India ? have made an important impact on society. Many of them only know Princess Diana as a historical figure, but they carry the honor with pride and admiration for the award?s namesake.

Well done and congratulations to the 20 winners of this year's The Diana Award.

Charles Spencer looks very elegant, and glad to see him in conjunction with one of his nephews, William at last night's event.  He was given the honour to deliver the most important of the 20 awards.

One of the young people is from Tanzania, and William started talking to him in Swahili ? and this young boy was gobsmacked! It wasn?t just one sentence. This was not something he had just read out of a book. It was truly special.

About The Award - The Diana Award

Here is a link to the Diana Award and its focus on honoring those who are mentoring or working on anti-bullying programs.

Here are some of its stories.

Stories from The Diana Award - The Diana Award


A little history on the Diana Awad.

QuoteThe Diana Award was founded in 1999 by the British Government as a way to continue Diana?s legacy ?by establishing a formal way to recognise young people who were going above and beyond the expected in their local communities,? according to the Award?s website.

Over the past 20 years, The Diana Award has recognised the work of over 49,000 young people from all over the world ?for their social action and humanitarian work.? With the Award?s anti-bullying programme, over 33,000 young people are trained in the Anti-Bullying Ambassador programme, and their Mentoring Programme has helped nearly 2,000 young people.

William and Harry have both been involved with The Diana Award, attending the ceremonies and hosting receptions for winners at Kensington Palace.

I believe that the brothers likely came to the decision that going forward from the beginning of 2020 that would be easier and  practical to have William who is  living in the UK take on the communication and correspondence with the Diana Award program.

Prince William invited the winners to a reception at KP in November 2019 and the Earl Spencer handed out awards earlier.

I agree, but I did read that they are in contact with each other. Strains within families can last for a long, long time, but when siblings have been close and have a falling out it doesn't mean it lasts forever. It may be a bit more difficult for them because so much of their private life is discussed by the Public. They are both warm hearted men who were brought up by loving parents despite the fact that their own relationship was a train wreck.

The brothers both met with the Legacy Award winners today. Prince William met  in person with winners at Kensington Palace and Prince Harry met with winners virtually from his home in California.  :Jen: :snowflake:

Prince William and Prince Harry Unite for Diana Award Winners | PEOPLE.com

QuotePrince William, 39, met with 10 British recipients of The Diana Award's Legacy Award at Kensington Palace on Wednesday. And Prince Harry, 37, spoke with another set of winners from around the world in a virtual meeting held from his home in Montecito, California.

The Legacy Awards are handed out every two years.

QuoteThe princes' paid tribute to the young people from around the world who are Legacy Award winners ? the most prestigious accolade a young person can receive for their social action or humanitarian work that is handed out by The Diana Award every two years. The first awards were presented at an event attended by both princes in 2017.

Recipients will be awarded their prize by Earl Spencer at the family's ancestral home Althorp.

QuoteThis year's honorees will receive a unique honor as they will be given their Diana Awards from the princess's brother Charles, the 9th Earl Spencer at the family's ancestral home Althorp on December 9.

The young winners are also set to have access to a unique two-year development program, which aims to provide them with the opportunity to enhance their skills in four key areas; leadership, community development, social entrepreneurship and technology for good.

The Diana Award
@DianaAward

As we come together, I am reminded of the profound belief my mother held in the transformative power of young people. 

She recognised their unique ability to challenge the status quo and push for a more inclusive and compassionate society.

Her legacy continues to inspire and serve as an example of how to navigate the complexities of our world today.

So many of the numerous challenges that we face disproportionately affect young people. 

Whether it's climate change, mental health, or systemic injustices, the obstacles can sometimes seem overwhelming.

But 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.

One would think, by William?s statement, that Diana only had one child,  and that child was him. He has a brother, and since it?s inauguration Harry has had just as much to do with this award as William has.

@Curryong -I disagree as Prince Harry's statement is similar to his brother's.

I agree with TLLK on this one.

The main thing, they both showed up for the Diana Awards and honored their mothers. No need to mention or say our or anything like that. I do agree with Curry in a sense on some other things but this, it's best to just give that statement and focus on their individual support of Diana.



Taken from the video, a photo of Harry with Vee, In 2020, they were part of a conversation on using social media for good that Harry & Meghan hosted in their roles as President & VP of the Queen?s Commonwealth Trust.


?Earlier this month, Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex joined alumni in Los Angeles for the first-ever in person Conversations for Change, a cornerstone program designed to bring young people together around a key social issue.?

The Diana Award is a wonderful project and if the brothers can come together on that then they may be able to devise something around veterans? health they could work on side by side. That would be a start.

That last photo of Harry with the students and others is a great one, imo. Shows what Harry is about.
