Prince Harry breaks cover after bombshell interview about King Charles

Also on stage were Sikander 'Sonny' Khan from Michigan and Christina Williams from Jamaica, who are holders of The Legacy Award, as well as Paul Fipps, president of global customer operations for AI software company ServiceNow, which is partnering with the organisation. Harry, who appeared emotional and close to tears through much of the interview, offered an olive branch, saying he could 'forgive my family's involvement', naming Charles, the Prince of Wales and his stepmother, the Queen, in events since he began dating his wife Meghan in 2016. 'That's not just inspiring - it's the kind of untapped potential we can't afford to overlook. Far too many young people are locked out of leadership pipelines because we've failed to build truly inclusive and accessible pathways.' The health of the King, who is being treated for cancer, was highlighted by his son, who said: 'And I said, life is precious. I don't know how much longer my father has, he, he won't speak to me because of this security stuff, but it would be nice to reconcile.' Harry told an audience that 'far too many young people are locked out of leadership pipelines because we've failed to build truly inclusive and accessible pathways', also praising them for their 'boldness' and their 'refusal to settle for the status quo'. Dr Ojo said: 'Behind every thriving industry is its people. We don't just develop young people - we co-create the workforce of tomorrow. Companies that invest in youth leadership today are cultivating the workforce, innovators, and consumers of tomorrow. I urge businesses to find out more.' The Duke was also said to be 'helping bridge business investment and youth development, championing a vision where innovation, equity and service unite - not only to address today's workforce challenges, but to unlock the full potential of the next generation of leaders'. A press release from the Diana Award stated that Harry and Dr Ojo also met with ServiceNow chief executive Bill McDermott 'along with over 20 senior business leaders, changemakers and donors at a private roundtable prior to taking the stage'. Speaking to Mr Khan and Ms Williams, the Duke added: 'We're in an era now where we are looking for more companies to be serving the greater good - the majority, not the minority. Every single young person has potential. 'From a younger generation standpoint, in an apathetic world, there's more empathy in this generation than I've ever seen before... It's the empathy, the authenticity, the truth, the honesty and the fearlessness... When asked if Charles had been approached to use his influence in Harry's legal problems, the duke appeared to imply the King was a hindrance, a comment likely to deepen the rift with his father and his brother, the Prince of Wales. 'This generation isn't waiting for permission to lead - they are already doing it.
