At tonight's ceremony, the couple will accept an award for their charitable initiatives through Archewell, such as supporting Afghan refugees, partnering with the NAACP, championing worldwide access to vaccines, and advocating for families in need of paid parental leave.
"When The Duke and Duchess accepted our award laureate invitation back in March, we were thrilled. The couple has always stood out for their willingness to speak up and change the narrative on racial justice and mental health around the world," said Kerry Kennedy, president of Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights, in a statement. "They embody the type of moral courage that my father once called the 'one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world that yields most painfully to change.'"
