Prince Harry checks up on his U.K. charity for first time since Megxit

Prince Harry has finally checked in on the organisation he founded over a decade ago.

On Wednesday, September 10, the Duke of Sussex made a meaningful return to Imperial College London to visit the Royal British Legion Centre for Blast Injury Studies. The last time he visited the Centre was when he was still a working royal.

Harry first opened the Centre’s labs in 2013 and later attended its Blast Injury Conference in 2019.

Upon his arrival, Harry was greeted by his pal and Invictus Games athlete David Henson.

During his visit, the Duke toured the Centre’s laboratories to see cutting-edge research on treating blast and crush injuries — especially efforts to improve survival and quality of life for children caught in conflict or disaster zones. 

Researchers showed him how their work is helping child amputees and outlined their collaboration with Save the Children through the Paediatric Blast Injury Partnership, which trains healthcare workers in war zones to give the best possible care.

Following the tour, Harry joined a roundtable on strengthening global responses to conflict-related trauma, focusing on mental health support and medical evacuation.

Staff stressed that “embedding multi-faceted services within communities — from trauma care to psychosocial support — is vital in building resilience and improving outcomes for survivors.”
