Sir Elton John has praised Prince Harry for continuing his late mother’s charity work.
Elton was a friend of Princess Diana – who passed away in a car crash in 1997 – and he insisted the royal would be very proud of her son for setting up the Sentebale charity in Africa 10 years ago.
Speaking in the new ITV documentary ‘Prince Harry In Africa’, Elton said: "If his mother was alive, she’d still be doing the work she set out to be doing, and he’s carrying it on in the best possible way."
Chris Martin and Joss Stone also praised the royal for his charity work.
Speaking in the documentary, Harry urged everyone to help others in any way they can.
He said: "If you’re me, if you’re your Average Joe, if whoever you are, if you can’t affect politics and change the big things in the world then just do whatever you can do, whether it’s in your local community, your village, your local church, walking down the street, opening a door for an old lady, helping them cross the road.
"Whatever if it is, just do good. Why wouldn’t you?"
Harry co-founded the Sentebale charity with Prince Seeiso, the brother of the King of Lesotho over a decade ago and revealed losing their mothers had helped them to bond.
He said: "There’s obviously a connection of some sort. The fact that we have both lost our mothers, at different ages and in very different circumstances. But, his mother stood for something and my mother stood for something as well. To a certain extent, there is a lot of unfinished business, a lot of unfinished work that my mother never completed."
