Harry honours Diana's legacy with Diana Award recipients and mental health focus
Prince Harry recently paid a heartfelt tribute to his late mother, Princess Diana, during the 2024 Concordia Annual Summit. Commending the summit team, led by Dr Tessy Ojo, Harry acknowledged their dedication to his mother’s legacy and philanthropic efforts. The Duke of Sussex’s commitment to his mother’s causes was praised by Ojo and her team.
A royal insider revealed to The Mirror US why Harry remains so committed to continuing Diana’s work. The source explained, “Harry is dedicated to preserving his mother’s legacy as it is the primary way he keeps her memory alive. He sees himself a lot in his mother, almost like they are spirit twins in their nature and approach. This devotion drives him to highlight her efforts with landmines and support charities that continue her passionate work.”
Earlier this month, during his appearances in New York, Harry spoke openly about his mother. At the Concordia Summit, he reflected on the Diana Award, established 25 years ago to honour individuals striving to make a difference. In his conversation with Ojo, Harry was joined by previous Diana Award recipients Christina Williams and Chiara Riyanti Hutapea Zhang, discussing the mental health crisis affecting young people.
