Prince William and Prince Harry will each have a role in an event honoring their mother, *Diana, Princess of Wales*. William is expected to give a speech at the *Diana Legacy Awards* in London, marking the charity’s 25th anniversary. Following William’s departure, a video message from Harry will be aired. This event is unusual as the brothers haven’t participated in the same event since Harry quit *royal duties*.
William’s *appearance* comes amid speculation and concern for the wellbeing of Catherine, Princess of Wales, after a digitally altered photo of her was released by Kensington Palace. Catherine hasn’t been seen in public for months post an abdominal operation.
The Diana Legacy Awards are held biennially and notably recognize young leaders. Established after Diana’s tragically died in a car crash, William is set to meet the award winners post the event. Harry’s contribution is virtual due to residing in the United States after his split from the working royals. Their relationship has frayed since Harry’s controversial memoir release, which suggested William was difficult and rude.
