Prince Harry’s emotional tribute to New York City activists
The Duke of Sussex recognized the work of two winners of his late mother Princess Diana’s namesake award while in New York City on Sept. 23.
Multiple parts of Prince Harry’s most recent New York City visit pay tribute to his mother, Princess Diana — perhaps none more obvious than his engagement with recipients of The Diana Award, the only award named in his late mother’s honor.
On Sept. 23, Prince Harry spoke on a panel with Dr. Tessy Ojo, CEO of The Diana Award, and two award recipients, Chiara Riyanti Hutapea Zhang, 18, of Indonesia, and Christina Williams, 27, of Jamaica.
The Duke of Sussex, 40, posed questions to the two on stage alongside Ojo on Monday, at one point telling them, “I applaud you for certainly, [at] your age, to be on this stage,
to have the confidence that you do, and to be able to speak as clearly and as passionately as you do. And I know that my mum would be incredibly proud of you guys — not just you, but all of the award winners.”
