Previously, in a statement issued by King Charles’ younger son revealed that the charity is one of the few causes he has kept since stepping back from his role as a full-working member of the royal family in January 2020.

He told People Magazine that he is “honoured” to celebrate the “remarkable courage and achievements of children living with complex medical needs.”

Prince Harry continued, “These incredible young people, along with the dedicated caregivers, nurses, and professionals who tirelessly support them, inspire us all. It is a true privilege to recognize such extraordinary individuals.”

At the time, the spokesperson for Prince Harry could not confirm any more engagements which the royal may attend to during his stay in the UK.
