“The couple has always stood out for their willingness to speak up and change the narrative on racial justice and mental health around the world," president Kerry Kennedy said of the Sussexes.
“They embody the type of moral courage that my father once called the ‘one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world that yields most painfully to change’.”
Prince Harry and Meghan were chosen because they have “demonstrated a lifelong commitment to building strong and equitable communities, advancing the global dialogue around mental health, and advocating for a better world – both on and offline,” the organisers said.
