Prince Harry Looks Downcast In First Public Outing Since Returning To The U.K. For Princess Diana's Statue Ceremony — See Photos
There he is. Though Prince Harry touched down in the U.K. last week, we're just now getting a first glimpse at the father-of-two, as he was spotted being driven around on June 30.
The photos show the Duke of Sussex wearing a long-sleeved shirt and sitting in the passenger seat of a black Range Rover. According to onlookers, Harry was seen arriving at London's Kew Gardens, where he made a surprise appearance at the WellChild Awards ceremony.
Harry arrived in his home country on June 24 and quarantined at Frogmore Cottage for the required five days, which made it the perfect time for him to attend the charity event, which he's a patron of.
"The Duke of Sussex met each winner in turn to congratulate them as they received their Award," the organization stated. "The Duke then had an informal chat with all the winners where he heard how the last 18 months had been for them and their families and how they had received support from WellChild and from each other through the WellChild Family Tree community."
Prior to his appearance at the gathering, it was reported that Harry was going to make a "surprise" appearance at charity function, but no other details were revealed at the time.
The Duke of Sussex's next outing will be the July 1 unveiling of Princess Diana's statue, where he'll reunite with estranged brother Prince William.
"The statue that Prince William and Prince Harry have commissioned to commemorate their mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, will be installed next year on what would have been her 60th Birthday," an official statement read last year. "The statue was commissioned to mark the 20th anniversary of her death and recognize her positive impact in the U.K. and around the world."
