At the 2020 Diana Awards, Prince Harry spoke in memory of his mother amid the Black Lives Matter protests, insisting she would be standing up for "people who need it" if she were still alive today.

In the Instagram video, he said: "I am so incredibly proud to be part of these awards as they honour the legacy of my mother and bring out the very best in people like you.

"I know that my mother has been an inspiration to many of you and I can assure you, she would have been fighting in your corner. Like many of you, she never took the easy route, or the popular one, or the comfortable one. But she stood for something and she stood up for people who needed it."
