Prince Harry emerges in Las Vegas to honor his late mother Diana's legacy

Prince Harry has emerged in Sin City.

The Duke of Sussex, 40, emerged in Las Vegas Tuesday to take part in a conversation hosted by Tessy Ojo, chief executive of The Diana Award.

Clad in a navy suit over a crisp white shirt at Tuesday’s event, which happened to be on the same day as his son Prince Archie’s 6th birthday, the Invictus Games founder highlighted the role of youngsters in bringing about “positive change” in the world.

While on his short visit, Harry introduced a new youth-centric “Pledge to Invest” initiative in partnership with the charity, which was established 26 years ago as a tribute to his late mother, Princess Diana.

Harry shared, “Through the Diana Award, I’ve had the privilege of meeting young people who have turned adversity into action. That’s not just inspiring — it’s the kind of untapped potential we can’t afford to overlook,” during his talk.

“Far too many young people are locked out of leadership pipelines because we’ve failed to build truly inclusive and accessible pathways.”   

“This generation isn’t waiting for permission to lead — they are already doing it,” the father of two continued.

“They bring emotional intelligence, social awareness, and an honesty about mental health that previous generations struggled to express. What sets them apart isn’t just their boldness, but their refusal to settle for the status quo.”

Harry was joined by two young change-makers honored with the organization’s Legacy Award: Sikander Khan and Christina Williams.

Both recipients are celebrated for their outstanding leadership and contributions to social impact. The event coincided with ServiceNow’s Knowledge 2025 conference.

“Every single young person has potential,” the former working royal said Tuesday. “From a younger generation standpoint, in an apathetic world, there’s more empathy in this generation than I’ve ever seen before.”

“When they stand up for themselves and stand up in their communities, that is what we need. We need fearless leadership. So I tip my hat to both of you and what you represent.”

Speaking ahead of her conversation with the former working royal, Ojo highlighted just how important Harry’s support of the initiative is.

“Companies that invest in youth leadership today are cultivating the workforce, innovators and consumers of tomorrow,” she said, in part.

Harry and his estranged older brother, Prince William, 42, are supporters of the Diana Award — one of the only charitable causes they still publicly share.

In December, the feuding siblings offered up separate congratulations to the winners of the recipients of the 2024 Diana Award.

Harry’s Vegas trip coincided with his son Prince Archie’s 6th birthday, which fell on Tuesday.

The duke’s eldest son, whom he shares with wife Meghan Markle, celebrated his birthday in Montecito, Calif. The “Suits” alum, 43, shared a tribute to their son via Instagram.

Harry’s absence marked the second time he has missed part of Archie’s birthday in the last three years — having previously attended King Charles II’s coronation in May 2023.

Still, the “Spare” author did rush back to the US to make it in time for the final hours to celebrate at the time.

Harry’s dash to Nevada comes just days after he sat down with the BBC for a bombshell interview hours after he lost his appeal for taxpayer-funded UK security for him and his family.

Harry addressed his estrangement from his family, saying he was “devastated” by the court’s decision not to reinstate publicly-funded security in his homeland.

Additionally, he revealed that his father “won’t speak to me because of this security stuff” — though admitted he “would love to reconcile” with his family.

“Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has,” he said about Charles, 76, who was diagnosed with cancer last year.

The court’s bombshell ruling prompted Buckingham Palace to share a rare statement about the situation.

“All of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion,” a palace spokesperson said.
