The Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights employer will honor the Sussexes later this year at a gala in New York City.
The Kennedys and the British royal family have a longstanding relationship courting all the way back to the 1930s, when Joe Kennedy Sr. used to be appointed the U.S. Ambassador to the UK. This fall, the connections between the two dynasties continue. In December, Prince William will honor the winners of this year's Earthshot Prize at an awards ceremony in Boston hosted in partnership with the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation. Prince William has spoken many times on how JFK's iconic moonshot inspired his local weather initiative, the Earthshot Prize.

“When The Duke and Duchess conventional our award laureate invitation again in March, we have been thrilled. The couple has continually stood out for their willingness to speak up and exchange the narrative on racial justice and intellectual health round the world,” Kerry Kennedy, president of Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights, and Robert F. Kennedy's daughter, said in a statement shared today. “They embody the kind of moral braveness that my father as soon as called the ‘one essential, necessary quality for these who seek to trade a world that yields most painfully to change.’”
