Prior to the gala formal awards ceremony, Markle and Prince Harry will attend a pre-ceremony reception where they will meet the nominees for this year’s endeavor awards. The nominees are seeking wins in three of the possible categories: Recognizing Achievement, Celebrating Excellence and the Henry Worsley honor.
According to news.com.au, during the previous year’s ceremony, Harry helped present awards with his brother William, but it is expected that this year, Harry work with his fiancée to do the honors.
