Prince Harry Honors Princess Diana and Shouts-Out Prince William in New Speech - Yahoo Lifestyle

Prince Harry is honoring the next generation of leaders who are continuing his late mother's legacy of philanthropy and service.

The Duke of Sussex gave a virtual speech for recipients of the 2021 Diana Awards, the annual ceremony that recognizes young activists who are making the world a better place; this year, the ceremony highlighted young people who helped their communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. During the duke's address, he mentioned his mother, the late Princess Diana, and his brother, Prince William, whom he will reunite with later this week to unveil a commemorative statue of Diana at Kensington Palace.

"I want to thank you for being part of this important moment and for being such an invaluable asset to your community," Harry began. "I'm truly honored to be celebrating your work, your commitment to change making, and the vital role you've taken on representing a new generation of humanitarianism."

He continued, "Later this week, my brother and I are recognizing what would have been our mum's 60th birthday, and she would be so proud of you all for living an authentic life with purpose and with compassion for others. Our mum believed that young people have the power to change the world. She believed in your strength, because she saw it day in and day out. And in the faces of young people exactly like you, she witnessed a boundless enthusiasm and passion, and I, too, see those same values shine through."

Harry also mentioned his wife, Duchess Meghan, and that they both believe the next generation retains the power to change the world for the better.

"Meghan and I fundamentally believe that our world is at the cusp of change—real change—for the good of all," the duke said. "There is great need for young leadership, and there is no greater time to be a young leader. I believe in you. We believe in you. And that belief in your own ability to change the world … is what makes you a force to be reckoned with."

Elizabeth Hurley said it was a "nightmare" working with Matthew Perry on their 2002 film "Serving Sara," which was shot at the height of his drug addiction.  The production had to be abruptly shut down because the "Friends" star needed to enter rehab for two months.  Still, the "Royals" actress doesn’t hold it against Perry, who detailed his addiction struggles in his new memoir, "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing."  Hurley recently told Yahoo! Entertainment it was a "little tough" during the film’s hiatus. But when he returned to filming after two months in rehab he was "fabulous."

Daisy Edgar-Jones in ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’: Film Review - Hollywood Reporter

Image
Where the Crawdads Sing is the kind of tedious moral fantasy that fuels America’s misguided idealism. It’s an attempt at a complex tale about rejection, difference and survival. But the film, like the novel it’s based on, skirts the issues — of race, gender and class — that would texture its narrative and strengthen its broad thesis, resulting in a story that says more about how whiteness operates in a society allergic to interdependence than it does about how communities fail young people. Directed by Olivia Newman ( First Match ), the film adaptation of Delia Owens’ popular and controversial novel of the same name tells the remarkable tale of a shy, reclusive girl raised in the marshes of North Carolina who finds herself embroiled in a grisly police investigation. Her name is Kya ( Daisy Edgar-Jones of Normal People , Fresh and Under the Banner of Heaven ), but to those in the neighboring town, whose residents abhor her, she is known simply as “Marsh Girl.” The account of her...
