Prince Harry makes meaningful statement as he attends London event

Prince Harry, who landed in the UK without his wife Meghan Markle, appeared in good spirit as he graced the WellChild Awards on Monday.

The Duke of Sussex celebrated the achievements and resilience of seriously ill youngsters and their families as he attended the event in London in his role as the charity’s patron, a position he has held for more than 15 years.

King Charles III's younger son Harry looked relaxed as he began one of only a handful of events he now stages in the UK.

Prince Archie and Lilibet's father was photographed smiling after returning to the UK, seemingly sending fans a message that feels no tension at home.

Harry said ahead of the event: "I am once again honoured to attend this year’s WellChild Awards celebrating the remarkable courage and achievements of children living with complex medical needs.

"These incredible young people, along with the dedicated caregivers, nurses, and professionals who tirelessly support them, inspire us all. It is a true privilege to recognise such extraordinary individuals."
