Prince Harry marked the third anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s death with a private visit to St George’s Chapel in Windsor. While on the visit, he ceremonially placed a wreath and flowers on her grave. This deeply personal act of kindness memorialized his grandmother, who was very dear to him. This tender gesture provides a window into the late monarch’s profound influence on his life. He uses the opportunity to meditate on what she did and what legacy she’s left in her wake.
On that same day, Prince Harry, 40, found himself in the spotlight at the WellChild Awards gala, also in London. He unflinchingly played the part as the charity’s patron. He’s spent more than 15 years in that role. In that time, he’s kept his mind on the prize — supporting young people with complex health needs to transition successfully. In the speech, he made an impassioned call for us to honor their courage and the essential role of our nation’s caregivers.
Over the past 20 years, these awards have honored the bravery of our young people with serious health conditions. They pay tribute to the devoted caregivers—both family and professionals—who keep these heroes going at every turn. Their journeys inspire us to tap into the power of compassion, connection and community. – Prince Harry
Prince Harry has certainly kept us wondering with his itinerary as to whether he will have a chance to see his father, King Charles. The King – who is being treated for cancer – was said to be in Scotland over the weekend. It’s unclear whether the two will meet up during this visit.
Prince Harry remembered his grandmother well in an incredibly touching tribute. At the same time, his brother, Prince William, and sister-in-law, Princess Kate, were at a different event honoring the late Queen Elizabeth II. This divide in schedules is perhaps indicative of the separate journeys that the brothers have both taken since leaving active royal duties.

His desire to reconnect with family during this visit underscores the complexities of royal life amid personal and public obligations.
