Prince Harry’s UK visit has brought back fond memories for the Duke of Sussex.
The youngest son of King Charles III concluded his trip on Thursday with an appearance at a youth mental health event organized by The Diana Award. The award, established in 1999, honors young people who work to improve the lives of others.
The day before that, Harry reunited with his father for the first time in 19 months. Buckingham Palace confirmed that the two had a private tea together before Harry attended a London event for the Invictus Games.
During his UK visit, the Prince caught up with many old friends, bringing him great joy. Harry has been living in the United States for the past few years with his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children.
Prince Harry “loved” being back in the UK
From visiting several charities close to his heart, delivering speeches, and reuniting with his father, Prince Harry had a full schedule during his UK visit, though by all accounts it was full of harmony. “He’s obviously loved being back in the UK, catching up with old friends, colleagues, and just generally being able to support the incredible work of the causes that mean so much to him,” according to a spokesperson.
Following the reunion with his father, Harry looked to be in high spirits on Thursday for The Diana Award festivities. He was seen high-fiving supporters, laughing in a panel discussion, and topped it off with a heartfelt speech about his late mother.
“My mother believed in the power and agency of young people to positively impact the world. The Diana Award continues her legacy by putting young people at the heart of everything they do,” said Harry.
The Prince offered some advice to youngsters in his speech as well: “Don’t stand still, don’t stay silent — make them hear you because you speak for the majority.” The Diana Award event is one of the few occasions when Harry and his estranged brother, Prince William see each other.
This year, however, King Charles’ eldest son was absent.
