How Prince William, Prince Harry Impact Diana’s Causes 28 Years After Her Death

NEED TO KNOW
- Prince William and Prince Harry are separately backing causes that Princess Diana championed during her life
- Tessy Ojo of The Diana Award tells PEOPLE that when the men speak to young people about Diana, “There is a sense of immense pride: ‘Wow, my mother did that!’ “
- The Prince of Wales was introduced to the cause of homelessness by his mother, while the Duke of Sussex has adopted her advocation of landmine clearance
Prince William and Prince Harry are keeping the legacy of their late mother, Princess Diana, alive.
The princes may be estranged, something that saddens many of their family friends and those who knew the late Princess Diana, but separately, they have continued to forge paths on behalf of missions that Diana began.
For William, 43, that has meant backing the campaign to help the unhoused and developing that into a broad, practical bid to find new solutions to tackle the issue.
Meanwhile, Harry, 40, championed young people of southern Africa, especially amid the HIV and AIDS epidemic, a journey that began almost 20 years ago by creating the charity Sentebale. He has also adopted the landmine clearance organization Halo Trust, for which Diana made an iconic walk through a minefield in Angola, Africa, in the year that she died, 1997.
Both have worked to bolster support for people struggling with mental health challenges, something Diana was at the forefront of recognizing, and help for young people.
“The world witnessed who she was and witnessed what she did and collectively grieved for her,” says Tessy Ojo, CEO of the Diana Award, which both princes support.

“They are both young men who have families, and from a sense of love and a place of keeping that memory alive, it is a no-brainer that they’d want to keep that memory alive. This is not just for their family but also for the wider world,” Ojo adds.
“I’ve seen how they watch young people who never met their mother articulate the impact she’s had on them,” Ojo tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue. “There is a sense of immense pride: ‘Wow, my mother did that!’ ”
They also bring her intuitive touch to the ordinary people they meet. Mick Clarke, CEO of homelessness charity The Passage, has seen Prince William at work on many occasions, including when he came privately during the COVID pandemic.
“He spends hours with people, and there is an awful lot of hugging!” Clarke tells PEOPLE.

He adds, “When you’re at you’re lowest and knowing that someone who is going to be the future king says, ‘You are valued, you are important,’ it reinforces and affirms the human dignity,” Clarke adds.
“One of the most distressing things about homelessness is you lose all dignity and feel a failure through no fault of your own,” he continues. “And to have someone of his status saying, ‘You’re important and valued.’ From our point of view, to have someone who is our patron saying, ‘You’re in the right place, these guys can help,’ is immensely welcomed.”

It is a two-way street, with the princes picking up from the young people.
Ojo says, “When I see them listen, I also see they are learning something from someone who never met their mom but has learned something of her values. I love moments like that.”
“I also see the smile, the pride, and I see that they are thinking, ‘My mom did that.’ It feels like a re-commitment. If that person is doing this in my mum’s legacy, I have to do more. Almost like a re-ignition of that passion if that third party who never met my mom feels this strongly. This is my interpretation of the expressions I see,” she adds.

Prince William and Prince Harry regularly, but separately, take part in Diana Award events, recognizing young people from around the world for the impact they are having on their own communities.
“They see that next generation who are instilling her legacy and values into generations to come,” Ojo says. “I’m sure they do it with their own individual families, but what the Diana Award does is continue that legacy and pass that legacy and values on to generations of young people who would never have met her.”
Ojo says that both sons reflect the values of their mother: duty, service, empathy, selflessness and “that ability to ally with, and think about others, and empathy to see – so that other people’s plights become visible.”

She adds, “We live in an increasingly polarized world. The values that we uphold are around empathy and selflessness and the ability to step into other people’s shoes. It is drilling back into our humanity rather than some form of identity politics.”
In 2017, Prince Harry pledged his support to make the world free of landmines by 2025 in a powerful speech at Kensington Palace on International Mine Awareness Day, and last year Valdemar Fernandes, HALO Angola Program Operations Manager, and witnessed Diana’s memorable walk through the landmine in Angola told PEOPLE how the prince is continuing his mother’s work. “He is doing very well…He’s taking this seriously, he wants this job to be finished, and I think we’ll get there,” Fernandes said.

Seyi Obakin, CEO of Centrepoint, which Prince William paired up with at the start of his public life after completing university 20 years ago, has seen the effect the heir can have on the young people who are helped by the charity.
“There may be a group of young people around the table. They’re nervous one minute, and he gets into the room and starts chatting to them, and the nerves fall away,” Obakin says. “And they start telling him things. He knows the right questions to ask, when to back off, when to lean in. It is amazing what he does.”
“And when he leaves, two things happen: One, they are on a high — they have just told the Prince of Wales what they’re going to do — and two, they want to do it. He leaves them in that state because they have said to him, ‘That’s what I am going to do.’ Very few people have that impact on other people.”

Oprah’s Roomy Cargo Pants Are a Go-To Fall Style

Welcome to The Blueprint, where we break down the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and build them back up, piece by piece.
Oprah Winfrey is committed to cargo pants, so it’s obvious I have to break up with my boring pocketless pants as soon as possible.
Last fall in New York City, the media mogul wore a pair of big-pocket pants (a style she’s worn before) that prompted a light-bulb realization: I fear I have not given cargos a fighting chance. And for what? Boring pants that only have hidden pockets, or, in many cases, faux ones that can’t even stash a phone.
Not long before Oprah showed off her brown cargos, Gwyneth Paltrow wore a navy blue pair with a cropped trench coat. That gives me another reason to feel confident about trying this offbeat pants style.

The rest of Oprah’s look was grand, too: Her purple sweater was ideal for fall thanks to its three-quarter sleeves, plus her comfy sneakers finished it with polished comfort (she also wore heels with the outfit at another point in the day, but let’s keep it casual). We rounded up similar big-pocket pants, sweaters, and kicks inspired by the TV icon.

When I use regular pockets, I’m super careful because, most of the time, they’re not deep enough, so things tend to fall out when I’m sitting. In other words, they’re not that secure, and that’s why I’m picking out pants with pockets that have more room or more compartments.
These from Amazon are “very durable” and “silky” to the touch, per the reviews. Also, according to one shopper who wore them while hiking, “The pockets were big enough to hold my phone and Chapstick, so I didn’t have to carry a big bag.” They also have drawstring cuffs, so you can tie them up if you don’t want to dirty them when walking around outdoors.
Liyohon Turtleneck Top
Amazon
I can’t stand feeling like an overstuffed burrito with a thick sweater packed into an even thicker coat in the fall or winter. So, I usually choose thinner layers, but I want them to keep me at least a little warm. This turtleneck “feels more like a light sweater than a T-shirt,” according to one shopper, and it has been worn under dresses and blazers, per many others.
The purple shade here is a little lighter than Oprah’s, but the three-quarter-length sleeves are, in my opinion, the most important thing to focus on here.

Oprah also pulled a sneaky move when she did a little shoe change. We don’t know which pair came first — heels or sneakers — but I personally am a “go comfortable or go home” shoe gal, so I’m choosing option B.
In my book, suede makes anything more fall-worthy, but it can be tricky on shoes. I don’t want to have to spritz a protectant spray all over, so a pair with just a little bit of the soft texture feels easier to manage long term. The soles on these look serrated like Oprah’s, which make me believe that they’d be incredibly grippy.

Karlie Kloss welcomes third baby with husband Joshua Kushner

Karlie Kloss’ brood just got bigger.
The model has given birth to her and husband Joshua Kushner’s third baby — a girl. Kushner announced the news via Instagram Saturday by posting a photo of the newborn and revealing her name: “Rae Florence 9.18.2025 🤍.”
The former Victoria’s Secret Angel announced her pregnancy news in a March Instagram post debuting her bump.
“Three’s a party 🥹🫶🎉,” Kloss wrote at the time.
The caption referenced her and Kushner’s eldest two children — sons Levi and Elijah — who appeared in the social media upload.
Levi was born in March 2021, followed by Elijah in July 2023.
While awaiting baby No. 3, Kloss continued to show off her budding belly at the Met Gala, WNBA games and more events.
She rocked a black off-the-shoulder gown to ring in Kushner’s 40th birthday at a star-studded bash in June.
“I have loved growing up together, and can’t wait to grow old together,” Kloss captioned a celebratory tribute to the “love of [her] life and best friend” via Instagram.
The Kode With Klossy founder and Kushner have been together since 2012.
The businessman got down on one knee in July 2018, and the duo walked down the aisle in upstate New York three months post-proposal.
The duo went on to have a second wedding ceremony in Wyoming in 2019.
Although the pair primarily keep their romance out of the public eye over the years, Kloss insisted to Net-a-Porter in 2018 that they “have nothing to hide.”
In May, she explained to “Aspire” podcast listeners that their “partnership is so solid” because they met when she was a teenager.
“We’ve grown up together,” Kloss gushed. “He’s always been my biggest champion.”

Prince Harry Made Secret Visit to Another Member of Royal Family During U.K. Trip

NEED TO KNOW
- Prince Harry’s four-day visit to the U.K. included a secret visit to another member of the royal family
- According to Hello!, Harry visited Kensington Palace to pay his respects to Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent, following the death of his wife, Katharine, the Duchess of Kent
- Harry “loved catching up with family, friends and colleagues” during his trip to Britain, a source said
Prince Harry’s four-day visit to the U.K. included a reunion with his father, King Charles, after nearly two years, as well as a secret visit to another member of the royal family.
According to a report from Hello! published on Saturday, Sept. 20, Harry, 41, privately visited Kensington Palace to “personally pay his respects and offer condolences” to Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent, following the death of his wife, Katharine, the Duchess of Kent. She died on Sept. 4 at the age of 92.
Although Harry was not able to attend Katharine’s funeral on Sept. 16, as he had already left the U.K., a source close to the Duke of Sussex told the outlet that he “loved catching up with family, friends and colleagues.”
“His only regret was not being able to stay longer and see more people, but the meetings in Ukraine had been in the diary for a long time, and it mattered to him to be there in person to see the Invictus Games Foundation’s growing work and the progress at Superhumans,” the source added.
“The whole trip felt like a real success for everyone involved,” the source said. “His passion for his patronages and the causes he cares about hasn’t dimmed one bit — he’s already buzzing to get back and do more.”

The Duke of Sussex made several public appearances during his U.K. trip, including at the WellChild Awards in London on Sept. 8, where he crouched to greet children, wrapped families in hugs and cracked jokes. In Nottingham the next day, he danced into a room at the Community Recording Studio (CRS), laughing and bantering with young activists.
“He’s still the same person,” said CRS’s Trevor Rose. “He wants to feel the energy here. He cares — and that’s the main thing.”

One of the most newsworthy moments came when Harry arrived at Clarence House on Sept. 10, and disappeared inside for a long-awaited, private meeting with King Charles. He emerged just under one hour later — and experts were quick to point out that this visit could be the first step on the road to reconciliation with his father.
“It’s a massive step in the right direction,” Queen Elizabeth’s former spokeswoman Ailsa Anderson told PEOPLE following the historic meeting. “It’s a building of trust.”

Harry and the King, 76, have been estranged for more than 18 months. As PEOPLE previously reported, the meeting not only served as a chance for the Duke of Sussex to rekindle his relationship with his father, but also with his brother, Prince William.
While the encounter marked a hopeful step forward, royal insiders caution that a long road lies ahead before full reconciliation can take place.
“It shows the way forward,” an insider with ties to both sides told PEOPLE. “It is a good starting point.”
Just a few days after the meeting, Harry made a surprise visit to Kyiv, Ukraine, with his Invictus Games Foundation and spoke with The Guardian while there.
“The focus really has to be on my dad,” he said, while also acknowledging his past revelations in interviews and his memoir Spare. “My conscience is clear.”
When asked if he will ever bring his children to the U.K. despite his security concerns, Harry told the outlet, “Yes, I would. This week has definitely brought that closer.”
“Whatever has gone on in the past, it is good to see the family trying to repair itself or communicate at least,” a source with close ties to the palace added to PEOPLE. “Everyone has to have compassion for all sides.”
After visiting the U.K. and Ukraine, Harry returned to Montecito, Calif., to be with wife Meghan Markle and their children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4. On Saturday, Sept. 20, Meghan, 44, and Harry stepped out together to the One805LIVE! concert, which supports Santa Barbara County’s first responders and was held at Kevin Costner‘s oceanside estate in California.
