<p>WellChild’s Chief Executive, Matt James, spoke about the visit after Duke’s time in hospital. “We’re celebrating 20 years of the program this year, and celebrating it with Duke, which has contributed to that work, is a special moment,” James said. He added, “For me, the positivity of his arrival was really felt by everyone in the hospital. There was a real buzz around the hospital with people coming out to see him.<!-- --> The NHS is under a lot of pressure and going through challenging times. His presence here helped give everyone a little encouragement and morale boost at a time when it was much needed. We are happy.”<span class=

Prince Harry reflects on his long-standing connection with the charity

According to Hello magazine, last year, Prince Harry attended the annual ‘WellChild’ Awards, where he spoke about his long-standing connection with the organization. “I still remember my very first ‘WellChild’ Awards, 18 years ago—before the beard, the hair, you know what it is—I walked into the room, and within about three minutes I realized two things: the love and energy in the room was palpable, so was the unpredictable!” he said. “And secondly, that I’m totally involved in all of this. This night has been a highlight of my year since, and it’s all because of you guys: these kids, this cause and our ‘WellChild’ community.”

<p>Prince Harry also spoke about how charity took on a different meaning after becoming a father. He considered attending the awards in 2018 with Meghan, before they announced they were expecting their first child. <!-- -->“I remember squeezing Meghan’s hand very much during the awards, we both thought about what it would be like to be parents in the future. And now, as parents, being here and talking to all of you pulls at my heart in a way that I will not understand until I have a child myself,” he said.<span class=

Prince Harry’s hospital visit came after he arrived in the UK on Monday, July 6, and has already made several appearances throughout the week connected to the Invictus Games Foundation and other charitable commitments. Meghan and their children were not present for the visit due to security concerns during their stay in London.
