“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,” he added.

The annual awards event celebrates the inspirational qualities of children and young people living with serious illnesses or complex medical needs and also celebrates the dedicated love and support of those close to them or who care for them.

As a proud supporter of the charity for 16 years, Harry is also no stranger to attending the lavish galas, and regularly commits to spending meaningful time with the children themselves and their families and carers, as well as giving a speech. This year in particular, Harry is set to present the Award for Inspirational Child (aged 4-6), an especially poignant moment, as his own son Prince Archie is five years old himself.

Although Prince Harry ’s attendance at the WellChild Awards has been confirmed, it remains to be seen whether he will be able to meet with his father King Charles and brother Prince William, while visiting the UK.

Tensions between the royals have remained at an all time high for several months, but did appear to soften this week when King Charles, Prince William and Kate Middleton all shared posts on social media to wish the Duke a happy birthday when he turned 40 on September 15.
