Prince Harry has released a second video on the same day as he lost his court battle over security protection in the UK.
The Duke of Sussex made a surprise virtual appearance at the Sport Gives Back Awards in London.
This is the second video the duke released today. Harry recorded a message earlier urging the public to nominate for the WellChild Awards.
During the video, Harry hailed the “extraordinary strength and spirit” of young people with various medical conditions.

It also comes on the same day that he lost a High Court challenge against the Home Office to change the level of his personal security when he visits the UK.
In his second video message today, the prince paid tribute to Invictus medal-winning cyclist and fellow army soldier Josh Boggi.
The prince praised Boggi for being the “personification of resilience” after losing multiple limbs during his tour in Afghanistan.
The duke said: “Josh, you are a truly remarkable human. You served your country and completed three tours of Afghanistan.

“You were blown up, suffering a broken back and the loss of three limbs. You cycled across America and won several Invictus Games medals.
“There is no-one in the world who deserves this more; you are the personification of resilience. Congratulations mate.”
Boggi lost both his legs and his right arm at the age of 23 after stepping on an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan in 2010.
The army veteran met Prince Harry and Prince William at a Help the Heroes Recovery Centre in 2013 and has since competed in the Invictus Games which were founded by the Duke of Sussex.
Boggi has also completed the 3,000-mile Race Across America team cycling challenge and is the first triple amputee rescue scuba diver.
