Sarah's commitment to supporting The Diana Award comes amid a period where the royal brothers are reportedly not on speaking terms.

The Duchess of York's involvement appears to send a meaningful message to both princes, emphasising the importance of maintaining their mother's legacy through the charity's work.

The Diana Award remains a rare point of unity between the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex, who both maintain their support for the organisation despite their current rift.
