Charles Spencer has a poignant few months ahead. The 9th Earl Spencer will mark the 60th birthday of his late sister, Princess Diana, on 1 July, followed by the 14th anniversary of her death on 31 August.

And it has now been revealed that Charles has been chosen to host the 2021 Legacy Awards at the family ancestral home, Althorp House, on 9 December in honour of Diana's 60th year.

The Legacy Awards come under the umbrella of The Diana Award organisation, which was established in 1999 with the aim of honouring young people who work to improve the lives of others.

The Legacy Award is the most prestigious accolade a young person can receive for their social action or humanitarian work, with both Prince William and Prince Harry presenting the inaugural event at St James's Palace in 2017
