Endeavour Fund Awards: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle celebrate achievements of wounded servicemen and women itv.com

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have presented awards at a glittering ceremony to celebrate the achievements of wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women.

Ms Markle, wearing a black Alexander McQueen trouser suit and white Tuxe blouse, took to the stage at Goldsmiths' Hall, in the City of London, to present the second honour of the night at the second annual Endeavour Fund Awards.

She said: "I'm truly privileged to be here."

But there were giggles from guests in the room as Mr Heritage struggled with the envelope containing the names of the nominees.

Ms Markle smiled and laughed as she helped her co-presenter and the ceremony got back on track as she presented one of three awards to Daniel Claricoates, from Plymouth.

He developed PTSD after multiple tours in Afghanistan, but the disorder did not stop him from climbing to the summits of the highest mountains in both Africa and Antarctica with the organisation 65 Degrees North.

The top honour of the night is named after the late explorer Henry Worsley, who died in January 2016, just 30 miles from completing a solo crossing of the Antarctic while raising money for the Endeavour Fund on the expedition.

The late explorer's son, Max, said: "It is a complete honour and he would not have believed it at all.

"For him to be continuing to inspire all of these people – It's huge."

Harry joined Max, and his sister, Alicia, on stage to present the award named in their late father's honour.
