Touching moments from Prince Harry’s return to UK

When Prince Harry returned to the United Kingdom on September 7, 2025, he had all eyes on him.

He is expected to stay in the country for four days from Monday to Thursday and fulfil his engagements. His visit comes off as more than just a royal appearance, it was filled with emotion, symbolism and sparked questions about whether he would reunite with his father King Charles.

Royal fans seemed to be quite captivated with his trip where he went on to honour his late grandmother Queen Elizabeth II, as well as uplift young children.

His trip was full of touching moments, let’s take a look at them:

Honoured Queen Elizabeth

The Duke of Sussex, who had moved to California after leaving the Royal life behind, has once again made headlines with a deeply personal tribute.

His trip coincided with Queen Elizabeth II’s third death anniversary and during his visit, Harry honoured his grandmother by visiting her grave in Windsor and placing flowers.

WellChild Awards: Sword fight

In London, it seems like Prince Harry is paying tribute to ill children and their carers by joining the annual event dedicated to youngsters with complex health challenges and their families who give it their all to be there for them.

Organised by the charity WellChild, the awards shine light on the compassion and dedication the families, nurses, and professionals have for the children facing serious health challenges.

During the visit, Harry took out some time to spend with honorees and their families, before giving a heartfelt speech.

Known for his cheery behaviour at WellChild Awards, the 40-year-old Duke once again showed his playful side with the children this year.

In a lighthearted moment, the Prince was seen enthusiastically joining the nine year old girl born with spina bifida and hydrocephalus, Gwen Foster, in a balloon sword fight.

Gwen didn’t hold back and swung at Harry who happily played along.

Received gifts for Archie and Lilibet

At the same WellChild Awards, Harry was presented with gifts for two children, whom he shares with Meghan Markle, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

After his photo session, the Duke joined the children in attendance, engaging and playfully interacting with them before he went to give a speech on stage.

Gwen, whom he later shared a friendly sword fight with, was eager to share her interests with his children, who stayed behind in the United States.

She seems to be undeterred by her daily struggles and competes with passion as a wheelchair racer, and became the youngest participant in the Vitality One Mile race.

Her passion doesn’t stop here, in fact, she also loves football and cheers for both Wigan Athletic and Brighton Hove & Albion.

During their joyful interaction, Harry received a gift bag with two custom football shirts personalised for his kids.

The shirts were customised with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s children’s first names on the back, with six year old Archie receiving a Brighton away shirt and four year old Lilibet getting a Wigan third kit.

"Best gift ever, thank you so much," Harry expressed his appreciation and gratitude for the gifts.

Continuing, "This is so cool, it's going to make them so happy." 

So far his visit has given fans some heartfelt and moving moments but the the speculation surrounding his reunion with his father King Charles still remains. 

Despite him visiting Queen Elizabeth II's grave, there is no confirmation about the the Duke reuniting with the King.
