Prince Harry has put aside the ongoing feud with his brother Prince William, as he spoke of their late mother Princess Diana.

The Duke of Sussex appeared for the first time since he landed in the UK in a new video message where he spoke about The Diana Award, which honours young people who work to improve the lives of others.

Prince Harry paid tribute to those living compassionately, and referred to William by saying: “Later this week my brother and I are recognising what would have been our mum’s 60th birthday, and she will be so proud of you all for living an authentic life, with purpose and with compassion for others.”

Prince Harry also mentioned his wife, Meghan Markle, who stayed behind in the US with their son Archie and daughter Lilibet Diana while he attends the unveiling of Diana’s statue at Kensington Palace on Thursday.

“Our mum believed that young people have the power to change the world,” he said.

“She believed in your strength, because she saw it day and day out. And in the faces of young people exactly like you she witnessed a boundless enthusiasm and passion.

“And I too see those same values shine through.

“As it has done for 21 years now, the Diana Award carries her legacy forward by putting young people at the centre of our future. This has never been more important.

“And Meg and I fundamentally believe that our world is at the cusp of change, real change for the good of all.

“But the question before us is what that change will look like.”

The Diana Award is for young people aged between nine and 25, and acknowledges their social action or humanitarian work.

It unclear where the video was filmed as Prince Harry has been self-isolating at Frogmore Cottage since landing at Heathrow last week.

The two brothers will stand side-by-side for the service to mark Diana’s 60th birthday.

It comes as tension between the royal brothers continues after Prince Harry and Meghan dropped bombshell claims about the Royal Family in a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Prince William’s royal duties have also continued with the Queen, who is on her first royal tour in Scotland since the death of her late husband Prince Philip.

The Queen was introduced to Scotland’s other national drink Irn Bru as she began her four-day visit.

She and Prince William toured AG Barr’s factory in Cumbernauld, where the iconic soft drink is made.

The Queen, who has continued with her duties as head of state despite grieving for her late husband, will stay at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, her official residence in Scotland.

She and Prince Philip used to go to there to get away from public life in London.

Buckingham Palace said in a statement: “Her Majesty is connected to Scotland by ancestry and deeply held affection. As well as spending family Summers at Balmoral Castle, The Queen has visited almost every area of Scotland from the Outer Hebrides to Dumfries, meeting Scots from all walks of life.”
