On February 14, the Duke received the Dresden Peace Prize for his contribution to reconciliation between Great Britain and Germany. In his acceptance speech, the Duke said, “WWII anniversaries are now an occasion for joint remembrance: an opportunity to pause and reflect on the horrors of war; to mourn and commemorate those who lost or gave their lives; to display our solidarity with those who survived.” (Photo by ROBERT MICHAEL/AFP/Getty Images)
