"This generation isn’t waiting" – Prince Harry Pays Tribute To Princess Diana In First Public Outing Since His Latest Attack On Royal Family

Published 05/07/2025, 9:30 AM EDT

Royal tensions are reaching a boiling point as a bitter feud over security continues to escalate into legal showdowns, striking at the very core of the monarchy. Prince Harry, in a recent BBC interview, revealed that his father, King Charles, refuses to speak to him despite his repeated calls for "reconciliation". Nevertheless, Prince Harry has returned to the public stage—this time to honor his late mother, Princess Diana. It marks the first appearance since his most recent explosive criticism of the royal family.

Prince Harry may have left royal duties behind in 2020 with Meghan Markle, but one thing he never abandoned is his deep love for Princess Diana—something he powerfully proved once more.

Prince Harry made a poignant return to public life in Las Vegas, attending ServiceNow’s Knowledge 2025 conference to support the Diana Award, the charity established in memory of his mother, Princess Diana. This marked his first appearance since his explosive interview regarding his security legal battle. The Duke of Sussex joined CEO Dr. Tessy Ojo to launch the "Pledge to Invest" initiative, praising young leaders. He emphasized, “This generation isn’t waiting for permission to lead — they are already doing it.” The Duke of Sussex also emphasized the immense potential of today’s youth.

Prince Harry pointed out the exceptional empathy and courage of today's youth. He described their ability to stand up for themselves and their communities as the fearless leadership the world needs. The Diana Award, founded in 1999 to honor Princess Diana’s belief in youth-led change, remains supported by both Prince Harry and Prince William. However, despite Prince Harry's love for Princess Diana, his relationship with King Charles seems to have worsened, especially considering how brief their last meeting was.

Prince Harry's strained bond with King Charles has grown more visible since the Sussexes departed from royal duties, further deepened by sharp critiques in interviews, their Netflix series, and the Duke’s explosive memoir, Spare.

Prince Harry’s brief and tense moment with King Charles

In February 2024, a telling moment highlighted the growing tension between Prince Harry and King Charles. After the King’s cancer diagnosis, Prince Harry made the solo decision to fly from California to London, leaving his family behind in Montecito. However, his meeting with King Charles was surprisingly brief, lasting just 12 minutes. Royal author Lady Colin Campbell shared the details with GB News, stating, “the meeting lasted exactly 12 minutes, not 30 minutes or 45 minutes," adding that Prince Harry flew without an invitation.

Lady Colin Campbell raised doubts about the true purpose of Prince Harry's visit, suggesting that it might have been more about The Duke himself than anything else, possibly driven by his desire to remain in the public spotlight. Campbell implied that he intended to keep himself at the center of attention. Meanwhile, Prince William has not engaged with Prince Harry during any of his visits, as reports confirm the lack of connection between Prince Harry and the Royal Family, highlighting the deepening divide. Despite the royal tensions, Prince Harry’s affection for his late mother, Princess Diana, continues to shine through more clearly each day.
