Prince Harry’s third day in the UK appeared to be eventful as the Duke of Sussex made some important visits, including a much-awaited one with King Charles.
Harry, who is father to Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, was scheduled to visit the Blast Injury Centre at Imperial College on Wednesday. Before an official statement was released, Harry's vehicle was seen pulling into Clarence House as the monarch returned to London from Scotland.
Prior to his reunion with his father, Harry had returned to Imperial College London where he learned about their pioneering focus on paediatric blast and crush injuries.
Prince Harry met with Imperial College President Professor Hugh Brady, representatives from Save the Children, and Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO).
The focus of the meeting was for the need of global action given in the ongoing conflict which has left people, especially children, dying in horrific death or starving. Harry, who is a doting father to his two children, appeared moved by the work done by the facility and expressed his heartbreak in a meaningful message.
Following the visit, the Sussex office issued an emotional statement from the Duke praising the collaboration of the facility with Save the Children and WHO.
“Every time I return here, I’m struck by the commitment, innovation, and compassion that drives your work, Harry said. “From the labs I opened over a decade ago, to today’s focus on prosthetics for children, the progress and dedication are extraordinary. The voices we heard today remind us that behind every dataset is a child — a child in pain, in need of care, and deserving of a future.”
The messaged stressed that Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, along with Archewell Foundation stands together in their mission as they shared their contributions to the cause.
