During an emotional speech at the Hurlingham Club in London, Prince Harry expressed his heartfelt tribute to his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. The Duke of Sussex returned to the UK for the annual WellChild Awards 2023 and delivered a significant address following the presentation of the Inspirational Child award to Violet Seymour, the youngest honoree of the evening.
In his speech, Prince Harry seemed to convey a profound message to his royal family while fondly remembering his grandmother, who passed away one year ago on September 8, at the age of 96.
King Charles III, in the beginning of his address, shared his sentiments about the late monarch, saying, "As you know, I was unable to attend the awards last year due to my grandmother's passing."
He went on to say, "As you may also be aware, she would have been the first to insist that I join you all here instead of mourning her. That's precisely why, one year later, I believe she is watching over all of us tonight, pleased that we are gathered together to continue celebrating such an incredible community."
Prince Harry's words appeared to convey a message to his father, King Charles, and his brother, Prince William, reminding them that the Queen's presence still surrounds them.
In what seemed like a heartfelt attempt to address issues within the royal family, Prince Harry's words were a touching acknowledgment of the Queen's enduring influence.
Prince Harry, expected to spend the anniversary of his grandmother's passing in private, mentioned that his wife, Meghan, was "deeply saddened that she couldn't be present" at the event.
