Three prizes will be awarded throughout the night: The Recognizing Achievement Award, The Celebrating Excellence Award and The Henry Worsley Award, which is named after the late Henry Worsley, who tragically lost his life in January 2016 while attempting to cross the Antarctic — solo and unsupported. Henry, a soldier and an experienced polar adventurer, undertook the incredible expedition in order to raise money for the Endeavour Fund.
当晚将颁发三个奖项:公认成就奖、嘉许成就奖以及亨利沃斯利奖。亨利沃斯利奖是用已故的亨利·沃斯利的名字来命名的奖项。2016年1月他试图在无资助的情况下独自穿越南极大陆,然而却不幸丧生。亨利是一名战士,也是一位经验丰富的极地探险家。为了给奋进基金会筹资,他进行了这次惊人的探险。
William and Harry honored Worsley’s widow, Joanna Worsley, and children during last year's awards.
在去年的颁奖典礼上,威廉王子和哈里王子向沃斯利的遗孀乔安娜·沃斯利以及他们的孩子致以敬意。
Harry and Meghan chatted with Joanna during this year's event. Joanna's son, Max, said his mother had met Harry and his bride-to-be a few weeks ago when they met to decide the winner of the award in his father’s name.
在今年的活动上,哈里王子和梅根与乔安娜进行了交谈。乔安娜的儿子马克斯表示,他的母亲在几周前见过哈里王子和他的未婚妻,当时他们决定用他父亲的名字来命名冠军奖项。
Despite not being a member of the royal family yet, Meghan handed out one of the awards. “I’m truly privileged to be here,” she said before handing out the prize.
虽然梅根还不是皇室成员,但她也颁发了一个奖项。“我很荣幸能来到这里,”她在颁奖前说道。
