Prince Harry Announces £1.1m Children in Need Gift on UK Charity Visit as Reunion With King Unclear

His charity-focused return highlights tentative outreach, with no meeting with King Charles confirmed.

Overview

  • Harry visited Nottingham’s Community Recording Studio, where it was announced he is giving £1.1 million to BBC Children in Need to support grassroots work against youth violence.
  • He received cheers from onlookers in Nottingham and traveled without police escorts, reflecting changes since stepping back as a working royal.
  • At London’s WellChild Awards, he joked about “challenging” sibling relationships and focused his speech on the resilience of seriously ill children and their families.
  • He privately laid flowers at Queen Elizabeth II’s grave in Windsor on the third anniversary of her death, while Prince William marked the day separately nearby and later visited a London youth charity.
  • Speculation over a father–son meeting continues with no confirmation from either side; Harry last saw King Charles in February 2024 and has said he wants reconciliation after losing his UK security appeal in May.
