MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry given prestigious award as Duke acknowledge the people of Ukraine.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were yesterday awarded the NAACP award for their humanitarian work and “distinguished public service”.
Taking to the stage to receive the prestigious award, Prince Harry took a moment to acknowledge the people of Ukraine.
He said: “Before I begin, we would like to acknowledge the people of Ukraine, who urgently need our continued support as a global community.”
This is not the first time the royal couple have spoken out in support of Ukraine, as they did so earlier in the week with a statement.
The Duke of Sussex then went on to thank the NAACP for the award, saying: “I also echo the immense gratitude for tonight, both for this award and this community for welcoming me so warmly.
“I think it’s safe to say that I come from a very different background from my incredible wife, yet our lives were brought together for a reason.
“We share a commitment to a life of service, a responsibility to confront injustice and a belief that the most often overlooked are the most important to listen to.”
