Over the last few years, the world has seen Prince Harry and Meghan Markle go out of their way to support each other’s endeavors. While it may have become a rather common occurrence, there are a few events where the Sussex couple might choose to fly solo. For the 42-year-old, it has been some of her women-focused meetings. However, for the 39-year-old, it has been some of his royal duties that he will never give up.

Now, shortly after he rushed to King Charles’ side after his health scare, the Duke made a solo virtual appearance at an awards show.

Prince Harry may have left his royal responsibilities behind. However, the 39-year-old has not forgotten his responsibility to his parents. The Duke of Sussex checked in with the winners of The Diana Award, which was named after the late Princess Diana. Although the 25th-anniversary ceremony was held in London, the father of two had video-chatted with the group and congratulated them.

“My mum would be incredibly proud of all of the work that you’ve done,” stated the Duke. He also ended up thanking them for “everything” they did. The 39-year-old added that he was “sorry” that he could not make it, as he was at home in the US with Meghan Markle and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Although the royal could not make it, another member of his family showed up.
