The 32-year-old royal, who is the grandson of the monarch, has praised his 91-year-old grandmother for taking on the "challenge" of being a leader at "such a young age".

Speaking about the Queen and her achievements at the Queen's Young Leaders Awards, which took place at Australia House in London on Thursday (29.06.17), Harry said: "The Queen, who assumed the challenge of leadership at such a young age herself."

And Harry believes the Queen - who has held her title since 1952 - has demonstrated how important to be "selfless" and committed to your service, whatever your role may be.

He continued: "She has shown us all the importance of selfless commitment and service."

And Harry - who is the youngest child of the Prince of Wales and his late wife Princess Diana - has claimed everyone "aspires" to be like his relative and to live up to the "standard" she has set for people across the globe.

He said: "I know all of us aspire to the standard that she has set for people throughout the Commonwealth and the World."

However, the Queen is not the only member of the royal family Harry has praised, as he recently credited his three-year-old nephew Prince George and two-year-old niece Princess Charlotte - who are the children of his brother Prince William and his wife Duchess Catherine - as the "most amazing things".

Speaking previously, Harry, who has been pushed to fifth in line to the throne following the birth of his two relatives, said: "The reason I am now fifth (in line) is because of my nephew and niece and I could never wish them away.

"They are the most amazing things ever."
