Prince Harry has paid tribute to the late Queen on the eve of the first anniversary of her death. The Duke of Sussex took to the stage at the WellChild Awards in London on Thursday night and said his late grandmother Queen Elizabeth II "is looking down on all of us" at the charity event.

Harry has been patron of the national charity for seriously ill children since 2007 and was due to attend the awards last year with Meghan Markle prior to the Queen's death.

Taking to the stage, Harry said: "As you know, I was unable to attend the awards last year as my grandmother passed away. As you also probably know, she would have been the first person to insist that I still come to be with you all instead of going to her."He added: "And that's precisely why I know exactly one year on that she is looking down on all of us tonight, happy we're together, continuing to spotlight such an incredible community."Harry paid tribute to the youngsters that the charity aims to help.

He said: “It’s wonderful to be here at the 18th annual WellChild Awards – a night I personally look forward to each year because I get to be with you.“Tonight, we meet to celebrate the tremendous strength and spirit of children and young people across the UK and the individuals who are transforming at home care for thousands.“Your collective stories of strength, compassion and perseverance are inspiring to not only those in this room, but many far and wide.
