The Duke of Sussex attended the Princess Diana awards on his own in New York

Prince Harry "looked upset" at the Princess Diana awards, GB News host Isabel Webster said.

The Duke of Sussex attended the Princess Diana awards on his own in New York, after attending a slew of events in the city without his wife Meghan Markle.


Speaking about his appearance on GB News, Isabel said: "I just saw some of the reporting yesterday of him at the Diana Awards , and they reported that he was very twitchy, fiddling with his tie, shifting about in his seat, and I thought, oh, I'll just go and have a look.

"I went and sorted out the footage. Once he got talking, he relaxed into it."

She added: "At the beginning he looked in the way that Diana sometimes looked like upset, to be perfectly honest.

"Now, look, I could be reading into this. We can't speculate about what's going on. I just thought to myself, I hope he's okay."

GB News royal correspondent Cameron Walker said: "He may well have just been nervous. I think what he said at the very at the very start of that panel, he said, oh, I don't usually do this.

"I'm the one having to ask you guys questions. So I think that might have been part of it."

Isabel added: "That is true, and they usually come as a double act."

The observations came as Harry participated in a panel discussion at the 14th Concordia Annual Summit, championing causes close to his heart and those associated with his late mother.

During the panel discussion, Harry joined Diana Award CEO Dr Tessy Ojo and two Legacy Award winners, Chiara Riyanti Hutapea Zhang and Christina Williams.

The Duke praised their activism and compassion, stating: "I know that my mum would be incredibly proud of you guys, not just you, but all of the winners".

He emphasised the importance of listening to young people, saying: "We need to listen, constantly listen, and then act on the advice and the vision that you have, because otherwise it's your future that's being stolen from you and that is unacceptable".

Harry also shared that the award winners give him hope, noting: "The courage that you have gives me hope because every single one of us need courage in order to really move the dial and create positive change in today's world".
