The awards select inspiring winners from different age categories to highlight the way that young people have and continue to change the world, even when dealing with incredibly difficult illnesses and health problems.
Prince Harry made a speech during this years awards where he discussed how he and Meghan knew at last years awards they were expecting their first child. He shared his anxieties and concerns about bringing a child into the world and how being a new dad has affected him.
Like she did at last years awards, The Duchess allowed her husband to take the forefront as it is his patronage and seemed very happy to support Harry during the ceremony.
