Prince Harry Had a "Sweet" Moment With Meghan Markle Over FaceTime Before Honoring Princess Diana

Putting family first.

Prince Harry might be hard at work, but the royal is still prioritizing family, even when he can't be with them. Harry is currently away from his wife Meghan Markle and their two children, Archie and Lilibet, as he's set to attend a series of events during UN's Climate Week, but took the time to FaceTime his family before a big event that honored his late mother, Princess Diana.

On September 23, Harry highlighted The Diana Award and the work that it has done in the mental health space. The prince spoke alongside the Diana Award CEO, Dr. Tessy Ojo, and Diana Legacy Award recipients Chiara Riyanti Hutapea Zhang, 18, and Christina Williams, 27. Zhang and Williams shared that Harry had a moment backstage with Markle and his family.

"He is just so kind-hearted. Not only was he helping us get comfortable with speaking on stage, but he comforted us after as well," Zhang told People during the event. "And backstage, he was actually calling Meghan. I thought that was just so sweet, and it helped humanize him. He made sure we had no nerves at all."

Williams added, "Here is someone who is in a high-level role, who really cares about young people, cares about our voices and our actions. They say you never want to meet your heroes, but I met someone who I admire and I am leaving the experience still maintaining that admiration, or even more admiration, to know that he really cares about the causes that he represents."

During the event, Harry paid tribute to the Legacy Award winners, telling them, "I applaud you, certainly at your age, to be on this stage, to have the confidence that you do and to be able to speak as clearly and as passionately as you do."

The prince also took a moment to speak about Diana, and how she would have commended the winners of her award. "I know that my mom would be incredibly proud of you guys," Harry said. "The way that you do it, your activism, your compassion, those two things are so true to how my mom led her life and what she believed in."
