威廉王子和哈里王子寄语“女王青年领袖”

A Message to The Queen’s Young Leaders

15th June 2015

Prince William: It was just a year ago that Harry and I launched the search to find 60 inspirational young people from across the Commonwealth, who become the first group of Queen’s Young Leaders Award winners.   

The response has been incredible. Right across the Commonwealth, young people with vision and purpose have shown the determination it takes to make a real and lasting change in their communities.

Within days, the first winners will meet for the first time to be presented with their award medal by the Queen, who became a young leader of the Commonwealth herself at the age of 26.

The week they will spend together is an opportunity to share experiences and to learn and be inspired by each other’s very diverse leadership skills. They are true trailblazers for their generation and those to follow.

Prince Harry: Each and every one of the 60 winners has demonstrated leadership, compassion and commitment by improving the lives of others and selflessly supporting those who need it most.

William and I are delighted that we can now in turn support and applaud them. We look forward to watching their leadership skills develop and the impact of their initiatives grow. We hope that their determination inspires others to take action and to change their own communities and make a difference.

It is these people who we want to reemploy to be the Queen’s Young Leaders of the future and to join an amazing program that will touch all 53 Commonwealth countries over the next 3 years.

Prince William: So, to the 60 Queen’s Young Leaders Award winners this year, we want to say a big “congratulations” and wish them the very best for their own future, and for the future of their initiatives and their communities.
