It looks like Prince Harry is making the most of his time in quarantine. The Duke of Sussex made an appearance during the 2021 Diana Awards, much to the surprise of his fans.
Prince Harry recorded a video that was played during the virtual ceremony on Monday. He thanks all of the recipients of the Diana Award for their social action and humanitarian work. Here’s what you need to know.
The Diana Award is in honor of Princess Diana, who tragically died in a car crash in Paris back in 1997. Prince Harry is currently in London as he will be attending a Princess Diana statue unveiling at Kensington Gardens later this week with his brother, Prince William.

“I’d like to start by acknowledging and celebrating the incredible young people joining us today. Wherever you are right now I want to thank you for being part of this important moment, and for being such an invaluable asset to your community,” Harry’s speech began.
“I’m truly honored to be celebrating your work, your commitment to change making, and the vital role you have taken in celebrating a new generation of humanitarianism. Later this week, my brother and I are recognizing what would have been our mum’s 60th birthday, and she would be so proud of you all for living authentic life with purpose and compassion for others.”
“Our mum believed that young people have the power to change the world. She believed in your strength because she saw it day in and day out. And in the faces of young people exactly like you, she witnessed a boundless enthusiasm and passion,” he added.
“I, too, see those same values shine through. As it has done for 21 years now, The Diana Award carries her legacy forward by putting young people at the center of our future and this has never been more important.”
Prince Harry also talked a little about all of the changes in the world right now and how he and his wife Meghan Markle believe in “real change for the good of all.”
“The question before us is what that change will look like. The COVID-19 crisis exposed severe inequities and imbalances around the world. We saw the disproportionate effect of this disease on communities of color, on women, on underserved communities and in less wealthy countries,” he explained.
“Unless we take swift action, we will continue to see a disparity in our humanitarian and moral obligation to vaccinate the world.”
“There is great need for young leadership and there is no greater time to be a young leader. I believe in you,” he exclaimed.
“We believe in you. And that belief in your own ability to change the world in doing the right thing is what makes you a force to be reckoned with. So, all 2021 Diana Award recipients, thank you for inspiring us with your brilliance, your determination, and your compassion. Your actions hold the potential to lead a life-changing impact.”
