Prince Harry* and the Duchess of Sussex* were on stage at the NAACP Image Awards (short for: National Association for the Advancement of Colored People), the President’s Award in recognition of “special achievements and outstanding public service”.

“I think it’s safe to say that I come from a very different background than my incredible wife, but our lives were brought together for a reason.
