Twenty outstanding young people honoured with Legacy Award for The Diana Award’s 25th Anniversary year.

On Thursday 14 March 2024 HRH The Prince of Wales and Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex honoured and met with twenty exceptional young people, from across the world, with The Legacy Award set up in memory of Diana, the late Princess of Wales.

Taking place every two years, The Legacy Award is the most prestigious accolade a young person can receive for their social action or humanitarian work.

This year’s Legacy Award marks the start of The Diana Award’s 25th Anniversary year – a charity set up in memory of Diana, the late Princess of Wales and her belief that young people have the power to change the world.

All the Legacy Award recipients – who come from the UK, USA, Nigeria, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Indonesia, UAE, Oman, Romania, Jamaica, Cayman Islands and Australia – have had a huge impact on society.

Many of them only know Princess Diana as a historical figure but they carry the honour of The Diana Award with pride. As well as receiving The Legacy Award, recipients receive bespoke personal and professional development support to enhance their social action work with the long-term aim of inspiring and mobilising other young people to engage in social action.
