Prince Harry Begins Four-Day U.K. Trip Focused on WellChild and Children in Need

He is traveling alone after losing his security appeal, leaving any reunion with King Charles unconfirmed.

Overview

  • Harry is due at the WellChild Awards in London on Sept. 8, where the long‑time patron will deliver remarks honoring seriously ill children.
  • On Sept. 9 he is scheduled to visit Nottingham’s Community Recording Studio to announce a substantial donation to BBC Children in Need and spotlight local youth programs including CRS, Epic Partners and Coach Core.
  • This marks his first U.K. visit since April and his longest stay since 2022, with additional private meetings planned with charities such as the Invictus Foundation, the Diana Award and Scotty’s Little Soldiers.
  • There is no confirmed meeting with King Charles or Prince William; the King is in Balmoral, the pair have not met since February 2024, and recent aide‑level contacts in July signaled only a tentative communications channel.
  • Meghan, Archie and Lilibet are not expected to join due to his loss in the Court of Appeal over U.K. security, though friends say he hopes to bring his family on future visits and may pursue quieter lobbying on protections.
