Prince William has not abandoned his commitments any longer while his wife is convalescing and the attention is still focused on her for the leave after the mysterious abdominal surgery and for the confusion that was generated with the photo retouching of her latest Instagram image.
On Thursday evening, the Prince of Wales took part in the 25th anniversary of the Diana Legacy Awards, created to reflect his mother’s belief that young people can change the world. During the speech, William named his wife when she explain that “everyone in need deserves support in life. This legacy is something that both Caterina and I have tried to focus on through our work.”
The same day in the morning, the heir to the British throne went to another engagement at a center dedicated to youth also in London. During the visit, he was seen calmly playing pool, basketball and decorating cookies in a kitchen workshop. Seeing that he was not very virtuous in this last activity, Guillem assured that “my wife is artistic”.
Prince Henry also participated by video call in Thursday night’s events in memory of his mother, but in an exercise in segregating the siblings, the gala was planned so that they did not coincide. Guillem left the London Science Museum before his brother connected from his mansion in Montecito, curiously on the day that marked four years since the start of his new life without official duties after Megxit.
In his speech, the Duke of Sussex thanked the awardees for “inspiring so many others” and for “protecting my mother’s legacy”. And this was not the only matter that Enric attended to on Thursday.
Hours before joining the Diana Legacy Awards, the Sussexes revealed the winner of the Archewell Foundation’s Digital Civil Rights Award, Dr Joy Buolamwini, who was awarded €90,000 for her work supporting equity and accountability in artificial intelligence. For her part, Meghan Markle also promoted, minutes before William’s speech, her new brand of clothing products, an advertisement qualified as opportunistic in the British media to coincide with the day that Lady Di’s legacy was honored .
The last time those formerly known as the Fantastic Four – William, Catherine, Henry and Meghan – met at the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022. Since then, Henry has traveled alone to the United Kingdom different times, including to solve legal issues, for his father’s coronation or express trip to visit Charles III after announcing that he has cancer.
