The Prince of Wales attended the event at the Science Museum in London, where he also presented prizes to 20 winners.
The future king said of his late mother, Princess Diana: “She taught me that everyone has the potential to give something back; that everyone in need deserves a helping hand in life.”

“I am so proud to see this belief of my mother manifested in the incredible young people receiving the Legacy Award tonight.”
Prince William later took to X, formerly Twitter, and shared a glimpse of the event, saying: “Celebrating 25 years of the Diana Award, one of the most prestigious awards for young people committed to social action.”
