Prince Harry’s charitable efforts have recently garnered attention… but will they help him win back the favor of the British public? /dn

Prince Harry meets with ill children at WellChild awards: Duke is filmed chatting with youngsters as he makes rare visit to the UK without Meghan while King is in Scotland

 

Prince Harry was pictured chatting with ill children and their parents today at the WellChild awards in London during a rare visit to the UK without Meghan – with no plans to see his father King Charles who is in Scotland.

The Duke of Sussex, who turned 40 earlier this month, was at a central London hotel just two miles from Buckingham Palace and less than an hour’s drive from Windsor, where Prince William lives with his family.

Harry could be seen conversing with inspiring children bravely battling illness, including a child named George, who has a passion for powerchair football and disability inclusion in sports.

 

He also spoke with an award winning woman who helps care for her older brother Edward and is a huge support to her mother.

The Duke has flown in to the UK after a week away from his family carrying out a number of pseudo-royal engagements in New York.

He was whisked into the WellChild awards ceremony in London this afternoon. It is one of the few UK-based events he supports in person post-Megxit. The bash celebrates the achievements and resilience of seriously ill children and their families.

Harry, who has been patron of the charity for the past 15 years, has no plans to see his father Charles, 75, or his brother the Prince of Wales, 42, according to People.

When he was in the UK for a church service to mark 10 years of the Invictus Games, he also swerved his relatives then, and after attending Lord Robert Fellowes’ funeral in Norfolk on September 3 he apparently stayed with his mother’s brother, Earl Spencer.

William is believed to be in Windsor with his family as the Princess of Wales continues to recover from cancer. King Charles is in Scotland, at Balmoral.

The King is believed to be spending time at his Balmoral home and it is believed he has not seen Harry since the duke rushed to his father’s side after Charles’s cancer diagnosis was announced in February.

Harry swept into London’s Royal Lancaster Hotel to meet children, teenagers and their parents who will be recognised with awards from the charity WellChild.

The duke looked relaxed as he began one of only a handful of events he now stages in the UK, following his move to America with his family.

As WellChild’s patron for more than 15 years, Harry has regularly attended the awards ceremony staged by the organisation, the national charity for seriously ill children and their families.
