Prince Harry may be leaving his royal role, but he’s not forgetting about one of his key causes: veterans.

Queen Elizabeth‘s grandson, 35, spoke directly to fellow veterans at the annual Endeavour Fund Awards on Thursday evening in a heartfelt speech.

“I feel incredibly lucky to be able to count myself as one of you, and I’m deeply proud to have served among you as Captain Wales,” he said. “A lot of you tonight have told me you have my back. Well, I’m also here to tell you, I’ve always got yours.”
