Prince Harry has finally arrived at the 2026 WellChild Awards amid ongoing family drama.
On Monday, September 21, the Duke of Sussex made a beaming appearance as he arrived at the London ceremony of the 2026 WellChild Awards.
In a video shared by Hello! on Instagram, Harry can be seen stepping out of his car as he made his way into the Royal Lancaster London hotel to attend the ceremony.
Upon his arrival, the Duke was bombarded about the questions related to the ongoing tensions between his uncle, Charles Spencer, and his father, King Charles III, with reporters asking whether he had spoken to the monarch in recent days.
However, Harry avoided the questions and quickly went inside the hotel for the event.
On the purple carpet, Prince Harry met with the event officials and organizers and posed with them for the photos.
At the event, the Duke of Sussex, who is the Patrol of WellChild for 18 years, also met some of the young award winners, including Will and Margot.
What are WellChild Awards?
Founded in 1977, WellChild is a charity that provides care for seriously ill children and young people in the United Kingdom.
The annual WellChild Awards celebrate the exceptional courage and resilience of the ill children and young people, and honours the dedicated parents, carers, nurses, and health professionals who work to support them.
Princess Diana memoir row
Prince Harry’s latest appearance comes amid escalating drama between Charles Spencer and King Charles III.
The 9th Earl Spencer is gearing up to release an explosive memoir, titled Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, based on his elder sister’s life, in which he takes aim at the British monarch with scathing claims.
In the first excerpts from the book, Earl Spencer claimed that the then-Prince of Wales told him, “Rest assured, we’ll forget her [Diana] soon enough!” shortly before his late sister’s funeral in 1997.
Responding to the claim, a palace spokesperson stated, “While we do not comment on books as a matter of principle, His Majesty is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and colour memory in ways others do not recognise, even many years after such a loss."
Spencer also alleged that the 77-year-old monarch was “giddily elated” upon hearing about Princess Diana’s death.
