Prince Harry will be making a key appearance in Las Vegas tomorrow (May 6), days after his bombshell interview with the BBC. The Duke of Sussex will launch a new youth initiative with the Diana Award and will take part in conversations hosted by Dr Tessy Ojo, the CEO of the Diana Award, the only charity that bears the name of his late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales.
The event also coincides with Harry and Meghan Markle's son, Prince Archie's, sixth birthday. Harry will be on stage, helping launch a new 'Pledge to Invest' initiative, celebrating future leaders and helping inspire forward-thinking businesses to support their missions.
The appearance will take place just four days after he gave a blistering interview to the BBC after he lost a Court of Appeal challenge over his security arrangements while in the UK.
The CEO of the Diana Awards will be joined by the President of Global Customer Operations at ServiceNow, Paul Fipps, and two young recipients of the organisation's Legacy Award: Sikander 'Sonny' Khan and Christina Williams.
Dr Ojo said: "Companies that invest in youth leadership today are cultivating the workforce, innovators and consumers of tomorrow.
"The Diana Award is proud to launch Pledge To Invest - an opportunity for forward-thinking businesses to make a strategic, measurable and high-impact investment in the future of youth leadership.
"For over 25 years, The Diana Award has invested in young people, empowering them to tackle the pressing issues of our time."
Prince Harry's appearance tomorrow comes after he appeared in a half-hour BBC interview in which he spoke about his security being cut off following his and his wife Meghan's decision to step down as senior royals. Despite firing a number of shocking statements to his estranged family throughout the bombshell appearance, he also said that he would like to "reconcile" with the King and that he has "forgiven" his family.
His father's illness was also addressed in the interview, with Harry saying he does "not know how long he [King Charles] has left". A royal source told ITV News that the comments were made in "poor taste" and that the King "has quite enough on his plate to deal with".
They also revealed that the late Queen would have been "truly horrified" by Harry's interview, and that he has further isolated himself from his family, despite claims of him wanting a reconciliation.
