Prince Harry is expected to return to the United Kingdom later this year as his long-standing patronage, WellChild, begins preparations for its annual awards ceremony scheduled for September. The Duke of Sussex has supported the charity for nearly two decades and has consistently attended the event to honor seriously ill children and their families.
The WellChild Awards recognize the courage of children and young people living with complex medical conditions across the UK. In addition, the ceremony highlights the dedication of siblings, parents, carers, nurses, and professionals who work tirelessly to improve the lives of vulnerable children every day. The organization recently opened nominations for its 2026 awards, inviting the public to put forward deserving candidates.

Moreover, this year’s awards will take place as preparations intensify for the upcoming Invictus Games, another initiative founded by Prince Harry to support wounded service personnel.
