Prince Harry pays tribute to late Queen at WellChild awards

Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, paid tribute to his grandmother as he presented an award at the WellChild Awards.

He was on stage to present the Inspirational Child award to six-year-old Violet, who was born with a brain condition.

He said, “It’s obviously wonderful to be back here, a night I personally look forward to each year. Tonight, we meet to celebrate tremendous spirit. Your collective stories of strength, passion and perseverance are inspiring to not only people in this room but people far and wide. You have raised the bar time and time again.

“As you know, I was unable to attend the awards last year as my grandmother passed away. As you also probably know, she would be the first person to insist I still come to be with you all instead of going to her. That’s precisely why I know, one year on, she is looking down on all of us tonight, happy we are together, continuing to spotlight such an incredible community.”
