On Monday, Prince Harry made a solo appearance at the WellChild Awards 2026 in London.
Harry then met the winner of the Inspirational Young Person 12-14, Sofia Dobson, who showed him a book from the time she met the band Metallica. The Prince, who is also reportedly a fan of the band, curiously flipped through the memory book.

Next, Harry met Will Messer, the winner of Inspirational Child 7-11, who brought along a sweet souvenir for him to sign: a Prince Harry Funko Pop figure. Messer also gifted the Prince a Sunderland scarf.

Prince Harry made a solo appearance at the poignant event. Hours before the WellChild Awards, it was reported that Meghan Markle won't be joining him for the night yet again, as seen last week at Harry's Invictus fundraiser, prolonging fans' wait to see her in public since her return to the UK last month.
