On what would've been Princess Diana's 59th birthday, Prince Harry joined the virtual @DianaAward ceremony today to honor those fighting for racial justice.
The charity was set up on behalf of Diana to support & empower young people going above and beyond in their communities.

"Institutional racism has no place in our society," the Duke of Sussex said during 2020 Diana Awards in a message to the young recipients.
"My wife said recently that our generation and the ones before us haven’t done enough to right the wrongs of the past. I too am sorry," he added. "Sorry that we haven't got the world to the place that you deserve it to be."
After speaking out against institutional racism & talking about a need to recognize unconscious bias, Prince Harry handed over his platform in a #SharetheMicNow moment with James Frater, a @DianaAward recipient.
More on his speech here + some great quotes about his mom, Princess Diana. She "never took the easy route," he said. "Or the popular one. Or the comfortable one. But she stood for something. And she stood up for people who needed it." https://www.huffpost.com/entry/prince-harry-princess-diana-birthday_n_5efc85ebc5b6acab2849875a?8nw
