    Since Prince Harry's return to the U.K. earlier this year, royal fans have been wondering if the duke might reunite with his brother, Prince William. In a "rare" show of unity, the two brothers both offered their support to The Diana Award, an annual honor highlighting young people who are instigating change in the world.

    For 2026, Harry and William "wrote special letters of congratulations to those being honored by the charity set up in their late mother's name," People reported. In spite of any personal disagreements the brothers may have had, they "remain united in their support for their mother's legacy," the outlet noted.

    Although William and Harry didn't appear anywhere together as yet, they both decided to write personal "separate letters to each of the 198 winners from 44 countries recognized for their commitment to creating 'positive change in their communities and beyond,'" the charity revealed, per the publication.

    The Diana Award's chief executive, Dr. Tessy Ojo CBE, celebrated the recipients of this year's honors, saying, "Their courage, compassion, and determination to tackle some of the world's most pressing challenges are a powerful reminder that young people are the changemakers of today."
