Prince Harry spent time meeting young recipients of the WellChild awards at the Royal Lancaster Hotel on Monday, sharing lighthearted moments with the children and their families. During the event, the Duke of Sussex engaged with six-year-old Margot Jones-Billington, noting her affinity for sparkly fashion, which he said reminded him of his daughter, Lilibet, who is five.
Ten-year-old Will Messer brought along a Prince Harry Funko Pop toy for the duke to autograph. Will’s father remarked that Harry jokingly commented the figurine was not a very accurate likeness.
The WellChild awards recognize children with serious illnesses and the support provided to them and their families. The event provided an opportunity for the duke to highlight the resilience and spirit of these young award winners.
When asked about a recent dispute involving Earl Spencer and King Charles, Prince Harry declined to comment.
