Prince Harry Gives Encouragement To Young People In Video Message

In times where people just don't seem to be having enough to go on, any words of encouragement would work wonders and that becomes all the more important if they are coming from the Prince himself, isn't it?

Prince Harry has an important message for the young members of OnSide Youth Zones.

Over the weekend, the national charity broadcasted a stream of last year's OnSide Awards and featured a special message from the Duke of Sussex.

"Hi guys! Just a few months ago, we were all together in London at the OnSide Youth Zones Awards and, wow, what a night that was," he said in a video message. "I remember meeting so many incredible people and hearing your stories—stories of strength, of determination, of resilience but ultimately of courage. And as I said to you on that night, and I will repeat it again, hats off to every single one of you for surviving but also for thriving. These stories and these daily challenges that you guys are coming up against are unbelievable, and so many people would never understand. But you guys have the strength to pull through, and you have the support of the OnSide community, the OnSide family to help you through that process."

Harry then said he could "only imagine the last six weeks have made it even more challenging" amid the global coronavirus pandemic.

"This too shall pass," he reassured. "And before you know it, you will be back together again, probably in a Youth Zone, you know, running around, having the best time ever."

As he introduced the replay of the awards ceremony, he encouraged viewers to "have fun" and to "soak up the positivity of this night because it really was amazing."

Indeed, we all can use encouragement right now.
