"Last year when my wife and I attended we knew we were expecting our first child — no one else did at the time, but we did," he began, adding:

"I remember squeezing Meghan’s hand so tight during the awards, both of us thinking what it would be like to be parents one day, and more so, what it would be like to do everything we could to protect and help our child should they be born with immediate challenges or become unwell over time."

"And now, as parents, being here and speaking to all of you pulls at my heartstrings in a way I could have never understood until I had a child of my own," Harry finished.

The duke and duchess of Sussex arrived hand-in-hand for the event, with Meghan wearing a green dress and long wool camel coat while her husband donned a dark suit.
