The Duke and Duchess of Sussex may not receive the award in person but they are being thanked for their ‘generous’ donation to the Human First Coalition.

According to the details, the Archewell Foundation Executive Director James Holt will be receiving the Partner Organization Award on the couple's behalf next year in New York.
