The former Duke of Sussex would present the award to Blake McCaughey. The fifteen-year-old teenager who lives in Tandragee was recently named the winner of the prestigious WellChild Awards 2023. Among the hundreds of nominations from across the United Kingdom, WellChild picked McCaughey as the winner in the category of Inspirational Young Person this year.

McCaughey, who will receive the award this year, suffers from an incredibly rare and complex genetic condition.
