It has been years since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made their historic departure from the royal family, leaving the royal family in ruins and things have not been the same ever since. Following the fallout, it took a sitting monarch to pass away for Meghan Markle to briefly return to the UK, breaking her post-royal exit silence. However, subsequent visits have been solo affairs, with Prince Harry shouldering his royal duties alone. 

During his recent visit to the WellChild Awards, the Duke of Sussex traveled to London and gave a poignant reminder of his ongoing commitment to charitable work.

"You little legends!," Prince Harry exclaimed, according to Sky News, starting his speech at the WellChild Awards in London on September 30th. Cheers erupted as the Duke of Sussex honored children, teenagers, and their parents who overcame remarkable challenges. His heartfelt address preceded an evening filled with inspiring stories of resilience and courage. Founded in 1977, WellChild, patronized by the Duke, recognizes and supports families coping with serious health issues.

Prince Harry shared a heartwarming moment with seven-year-old Noah Nicholson, who has cerebral palsy and complex conditions. Noah playfully threw toys from his pram, and Prince Harry grinned, picking them up. The joyful exchange captured the evening's spirit. The Duke's visit highlighted his ongoing commitment to WellChild's cause, supporting families and celebrating inspiring stories.

While the crowd was all in its highest spirits to have Prince Harry amongst them, the glaring absence of Meghan Markle raised eyebrows. 

The WellChild Awards in London saw Prince Harry solo, sparking whispers among attendees and eagle-eyed royal experts who keep a close tab on the Sussex royals. Notably absent was Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex. Despite her wishes, Prince Harry has made it clear about her restricted UK visits due to security concerns. In a recent interview, Prince Harry set the record straight for how he cannot risk his family's safety in the Kingdom.

Prince Harry's upcoming trip to Lesotho will also be solo, reinforcing speculation about Markle's limited travel. Royal insiders suggest security issues and potential backlash from the British media and the public has continued to influence the couple's decisions. As Prince Harry carries out his charitable work, his wife's absence has been a matter of continuous debate about the couple's long-term balance between royal and personal duties.
