IPPDR Night at the United Nations: A Royal Legacy of Humanitarian Leadership
New York City — October 2025. The marble halls of the United Nations Headquarters will soon become the stage for one of the most luminous evenings of the year as the International Peace and Prosperity, Development and Research (IPPDR) organization prepares to host its annual Humanitarian Platinum Leadership Awards Night. This global platform, founded and driven by the tireless efforts of Dr. Andrise Bass, will once again unite diplomats, visionaries, philanthropists, and global leaders in celebration of extraordinary humanitarian achievement.
At the center of this year’s ceremony will be a moment steeped in both symbolism and history: the distinguished H.H. Dr. Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe, beloved humanitarian, award-winning television host, and Royal Ambassador of peace, will hand the evening’s highest honor over to Her Highness Princess Antonia, a Royal dignitary and academic whose royal lineage and humanitarian spirit and work achievements will be celebrated on the world’s most respected stage.
The Vision of Dr. Andrise Bass
Dr. Andrise Bass will once again demonstrate her visionary leadership as she guides IPPDR into another milestone year. Her creation of the Humanitarian Platinum Leadership Award was never intended as a mere accolade but as a call to action — a living tradition that will inspire leaders to carry forward the torch of peace, prosperity, and development.
The 2025 ceremony will highlight Dr. Bass’s enduring mission: to bring together changemakers from every sector — governance, diplomacy, education, science, and the arts — and recognize their unified contributions to humanity. By placing the spotlight on Princess Antonia this year, she will emphasize that leadership is not only about holding titles but also about living with integrity, grace, and service.

Princess Antonia: The Royal Honoree of 2025
This year, the spotlight will fall on Princess Antonia, whose voice and work will be honored as part of IPPDR’s mission to inspire global progress. Her dedication to cultural diplomacy, preservation of historic legacies, and support for international education will be acknowledged in a landmark moment at the UN Headquarters.
As she accepts the honor from her son, H.H. Dr. Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe, the ceremony will symbolize the continuity of royal service across generations. The Prince, who has himself been celebrated for his philanthropic contributions and global peace advocacy, will pass the recognition forward — a gesture that will embody the very heart of IPPDR’s vision: building bridges across time, family, and nations.
A Night of Global Resonance
The 2025 Humanitarian Platinum Leadership Awards Night will not only mark an important chapter for Princess Antonia but will also reaffirm IPPDR’s role as a convener of global goodwill. Leaders from across the world will gather at the UN to witness a night of music, culture, and heartfelt tributes, reminding all present that humanitarianism is the highest form of leadership.
As the lights rise over the United Nations Headquarters, the evening will signal more than just an award ceremony — it will herald a new chapter in global humanitarian collaboration, a moment where tradition and progress will meet, and where Princess Antonia’s name will join the legacy of global icons honored by IPPDR.
