"The Duke is also able to use his profile to help raise awareness of the charity, meaning that we can reach and support more children and young people who have experienced the death of a parent who served in the British Armed Forces."
On Monday evening, the Duke of Sussex made a virtual appearance during a Stand Up for Heroes show at the Lincoln Center in New York City.
Harry joked about being ginger, the scrutiny he faces as a public figure and having a reiki healer during a stand-up comedy routine.
Following the gags, the royal moved on to a more serious message as he championed the military community.

He said: "I've said it before and I'll say it again, service is what happens in the quiet and the chaos.
"And whether we are wearing the uniform or not, we must continue to uphold the values we learned side by side on the base, on the drill square and on the battlefield.
"Values of service, values of honour and integrity and values of togetherness and solidarity.
"I know our journeys to this point differ but we are always connected through what we learned as humans, what we faced as families and how we've come out stronger because of our ability to listen, to understand, to support one another."
