Prince Harry is still in touch and actively involved with the Diana Award, the charity that helps young people tackle issues affecting their lives. Tessy Ojo, the Diana Award's CEO, said that the Duke of Sussex continues to work hard to uphold his mother's legacy despite living in the U.S. in the last seven months.
In an interview with OK! Magazine, Ojo said that Prince Harry and his other brother Prince William truly roll up their sleeves to push the objectives of the Diana Award. The CEO said that it's not simply a photo op for William when he's in London attending the activities of the charities.
Ojo is one of the recipients of the CBE from Queen Elizabeth this year. The CEO said that both William and Harry sent letters of congratulations to her for receiving such a prestigious honor.
The Queen recognized Ojo's work as the head of the charity that provides mentorship and support for young people, as well as anti-bullying programs. She has been with the Diana Awards since leaving her high-paying corporate job 20 years ago.
Ojo said that Prince William is actively part of their anti-bullying program and previously consulted with tech giants for ways to tackle cyberbullying. Prince Harry, on the other hand, is in the mentorship program and was part of the virtual summit for the Diana Awards last summer.
The CEO said that William and Harry truly care deeply about their mother's advocacy. She said that she met the brothers 10 years after Princess Diana's death, when they hosted an event for the charity at the Wembley Stadium.
Since then, Ojo formed a special bond with Diana's boys and she was invited to the wedding of Harry and Meghan Markle in 2018. She said that she was sad about the Sussexes leaving the U.K. but she believes that it was the right thing to do for the couple.
Ojo's revelation comes in light of a newly-released book about Prince William and Prince Harry that claimed they only have until March 2021 to settle their rift. According to Battle of Brothers author Robert Lacey, there are speculations William will take over Harry's military roles if the Duke of Sussex is not coming back to the royal fold.
Lacey said that if that were to happen, then it will be the end of the brothers' relationship. He believes that they must agree to a compromise if they cannot fully reconcile after Queen Elizabeth reviews Prince Harry and Meghan's arrangement one year after stepping back as senior royals.
