Prince Harry: He comes to London’s wellchild gala

Prince Harry (40) is planning his next trip to London. The Duke of Sussex has confirmed that he will take part in this year’s Wellchild Awards. The date of the event bears a particularly melancholic grade: September 8 marks the third day of death of his beloved grandmother Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022).

The Wellchild Awards, who celebrate their 20th anniversary in 2025, appreciate the extraordinary courage of seriously ill children and the commitment of their families and nurses. Harry has been the patron of the charity since 2007 and is a regular guest at the annual award ceremony. It is one of the few charitable obligations that he retained after retiring as an active Royal in January 2020.

On the Wellchild website on Thursday, August 28th, Harry emphasized: “I always have an honor to take part in the Wellchild Awards and to meet the incredible children, families and specialists who inspire all of us with their strength and mind.”

In his explanation, the prince praised the importance of the awards: “For 20 years, these awards have emphasized young people with complex health problems and focus on the devoted supervisors – both family members and nursing staff – who support them with every step. Their stories remind us of the power of compassion and community.”

Harry traditionally presents a prize in the wellchild of Awards and gives a speech. Personal contact with the excellent children and their relatives as well as the nursing staff is particularly important to him.

Whether it is a reunion with his father King Charles III during Harry’s stay in Great Britain. (76) will remain open. The alienation between the two was reinforced by Harry’s legal battle for his personal protection claims in Great Britain.

After his mashed complaint against the downgrading of his security measures after leaving as an active member of the royal family, Harry accused the royal family in an interview with the BBC on May 2, the decision to reduce its security and that the decision of 2020, his security status, “burdened him” every single day “.

In the interview, the prince was particularly concerned about the security of his wife Meghan (44) and the two children together. “I can’t imagine a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to Great Britain under these circumstances,” he had emphasized “BBC News”, shortly after his defeat in front of a London Court of Appeal. At the same time, he emphasized: “I would love reconciliation with my family. It has no point in fighting, life is precious.”

Hopes of approaching Harry and his father sprouted in July when representatives of both sides met in London for the first time in a long time. However, there have been no concrete steps to reconciliation.
