"They don't know it yet but they will," the Duchess of Sussex added.
The 26 winners were from US youth-led initiatives and will each receive $US2 million ($3.8 million) "to support their efforts to build a more inclusive, equitable, and accountable online world".
The Sussexes also thanked them for the work they do, on behalf of their two children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Archewell
The money comes from a number of sponsors, including The Archewell Foundation, which is a founding member of the initiative and serves on the advisory committee.
"This is exactly why we do what we do," Harry said when hearing about how the money will help one of the winners' efforts against cyberbullying.
The clip marks their first joint public appearance in three months, after their May visit to the Women in Vision awards in New York ended in what the couple described as a "near catastrophic car chase".
