Sentebale’s co-founder Prince Seeiso braved the weather to present the prize giving, and to commiserate with Prince Harry!

After a wonderful dinner from Coworth Park, Hugh Edmeades from Christie’s took to the floor to run the auction which included some amazing lots, including a Tracey Emin Neon, a luxury safari in Botswana, a private dinner cooked by Tom Aikens and a bespoke-made handcrafted jewelry piece by Sabine Roemer. The 18k whitegold bracelet was set with Diamonds, Rubies and Sapphires, which was inspired by the “forget-me-not-flower” of the Sentebale Logo.

All the proceeds from the event will go towards improving the lives of vulnerable children and young people in Lesotho.
