In a night of royal elegance and historical significance, Egyptian champion and humanitarian Captain Anwar Elkamony was honored at the prestigious Grand Ball of Princes and Princesses Monte-Carlo, held for the first time ever in England at the iconic Dorchester Hotel in London.
Curated by world-renowned soprano and cultural and UNICEF ambassador Delia Grace Noble, the event brought together an elite gathering of princes, princesses, aristocrats, and international figures in a majestic celebration of tradition, beauty, and humanitarian vision.
Anwar Elkamony is globally recognized as the first athlete in history to return to professional international sport after a bone marrow transplant, and is the founder of the HopeGiver Campaign—a movement that has now spread across more than 30 countries, igniting hope and resilience in children and communities worldwide.
Being honored in such a historic and meaningful celebration is beyond words. I thank Delia Grace Noble for her brilliance, grace, and vision in making this event a message to the world,” said Elkamony. “This moment is not just personal—it represents every dreamer who chooses light over fear.”
The celebration marked not only a global recognition, but the beginning of a new cultural bridge. Plans are now in motion to bring the Grand Ball of Princes and Princesses Monte-Carlo to Egypt for the very first time—uniting Egyptian heritage with international elegance and purpose.
