Younger son of Charles III. he lost his privileges after the resignation of royal powers. However, he was left with the WellChild Awards charity, which left him with the option of an official visit to the UK. The awards ceremony was held at the Hurlingham Club in London. It was timed on the anniversary of Elizabeth II’s death to give the beleaguered prince a chance to honor the memory of his crowned grandmother.
“As you know, I was unable to attend the awards last year when my grandmother passed away. As you also probably know, she would be the first person to insist that I be with all of you all the time. And that’s why I know that exactly one year later, he’s looking down on us all tonight. She is delighted that together we continue to highlight such an incredible community,” said the Duke of Sussex.
Harry arrived in the UK without his wife – Meghan Markle stayed at their home in Montecito, California with their two children, four-year-old Archie and two-year-old Lilibet. The awards ceremony, attended by the Duke, celebrates the achievements and resilience of critically ill children and their families. Harry has been a patron of WellChild for the past 15 years. It is one of the few organizations that remained under his patronage after leaving the monarchy and moving to the United States.
The red-haired prince looked relaxed as he mingled with the foundation’s young beneficiaries, their parents and staff during the awards ceremony. He talked with the children about their interests and hobbies. The meeting lasted less than an hour.
Harry’s visit to his homeland is short-lived – he will fly to Germany from the British capital. Meghan Markle’s husband will open the Invictus Games in Düsseldorf on Saturday. These are competitions for military personnel who have suffered various injuries, but continue to live actively and play sports. The Invictus Games is Prince Harry’s favorite child and he has also retained the right to participate in the games. This time the competition will last for eight days. Meghan is expected to join her husband in Germany, the Daily Mail reports.
Harry’s relationship with the royal family remains extremely strained. During a short visit at home, he did not have an audience with the crowned father. Sources from Buckingham Palace said that the meeting of Charles III. with the youngest son is not planned. The monarch is now in the Scottish mansion of Balmoral, where Elizabeth II died.
The devastated Duke didn’t even see his older brother, although Prince William was only 100 miles away that day. Kate Middleton’s husband is visiting Dorset. The future king visited Bournemouth Football Club and Pret A Manger cafe as part of his major campaign to end homelessness.
