He is a patron or president of more than 400 causes after almost 50 years of charitable work.
The prince said: “When I was told of GQ’s wish to give me an award, I felt sure there must have been some kind of mistake and I thought it must be some sort of ill-deserved fashion award. Particularly because in fashion terms I’m like a stopped clock, in other words I’m fashionable once every 25 years.”
But the royal also ranked 20th in GQ’s Best Dressed Men of 2018 — ahead of David Beckham.
Other celebs at the event at the Tate Modern in London included Kylie Minogue, Kate Beckinsale and Bodyguard star Richard Madden.
