Prince Harry hailed the “extraordinary strength and spirit” of young people with various medical conditions during a virtual appearance calling for WellChild Awards nominations.
The Duke of Sussex’s brief video message was released on the same day he lost a High Court challenge against the Home Office.
The prince wanted to challenge their 2020 decision to change the level of his personal security when he visits the UK.
Since the verdict was announced, Prince Harry's lawyers have stated they will seek to appeal against the ruling.

Harry looked relaxed in a grey shirt and his leather cord necklace for the virtual appearance.
The father-of-two urged the public to put forward the names of the “remarkable individuals who inspire you” for the charity’s 2024 awards.
The 39-year-old said: “The WellChild Awards is our chance to celebrate the extraordinary strength and spirit of young people with complex medical conditions from across the United Kingdom.
“It allows us to shine a spotlight on the resilience and positivity that they demonstrate every single day, and recognise the incredible support from the families, friends, and the professionals around them.”
