William told the audience that he and Catherine, the Princess of Wales, have been working on their own legacies. The Prince of Wales said that she would have been proud to see a charity in her name doing such work.

The heir to the British throne met with staff and supporters of the award as well as presenting the Legacy Award to this year's winners.

In addition to the honor, award winners are supported with personal and professional development to amplify their social work and allow them to keep inspiring other young people to do the same

Kate apologized, but she did not explain how she edited the picture or why. The Diana Legacy Awards were established in 1997 after Diana's death. Over the past 25 years, 50,000 people have received the Diana Award according to William. The Duke of Sussex moved to the United States after his split from the royals.
