Prince Harry visited Birmingham Children’s Hospital on Thursday, July 9, as part of his ongoing work with charity WellChild.
The Duke of Sussex, who has served as WellChild’s patron since 2007, attended the hospital to mark the 20th anniversary of the charity’s WellChild Nurse programme.
The role was created in 2006 and partly funded by Prince Harry to support children with complex medical needs and their families by helping coordinate care between hospitals and homes.
During the visit, Harry highlighted the work of WellChild, which focuses on improving the quality of life for seriously ill children and supporting families caring for them.
Harry has remained involved with the charity through events including the annual WellChild Awards, despite stepping back from his royal duties in 2020 and moving to California with Meghan Markle and their two children.
At last year’s WellChild Awards, Harry reflected on his long association with the organisation, recalling his first attendance at the event nearly two decades earlier.
He said the charity’s focus on helping children with complex medical needs live at home with family and community support had remained central to its work.
The Birmingham visit forms part of Harry’s U.K. trip, which has included appearances connected to several organisations he supports.
