Prince Harry Surprises in Video for WellChild Charity: "We Need Your Help"

On January 28, 2025, Prince Harry shared a surprise video to encourage nominations for the WellChild Awards. The annual event honors the courage of seriously ill children across the U.K. It highlights one of the few patronages he has retained since stepping away from royal duties in 2020 with Meghan Markle.

In his message, Harry emphasized the event's emotional significance. He actively connects with children, families, and caregivers during the celebrations. "Each year, the WellChild Awards, in association with GSK, celebrate the growing number of young people facing complex medical conditions," he explained. "These awards shine a spotlight on the remarkable stories of strength and resilience shown every day by these young individuals."

As the 20th WellChild Awards approach, Harry expressed pride in honoring the community's bravery and compassion. He sought the public’s help, inviting them to nominate exceptional individuals who inspire them daily. "We need your help to nominate the exceptional people who inspire you every single day," Harry urged in the video.

Hello magazine shared additional context. The post highlighted the significance of this year’s awards, celebrating two decades of recognizing U.K. children living with complex medical needs. An appeal encouraged the public to submit nominations through their website.

Last year, Harry received a touching gift from a former award recipient, 10-year-old Scarlett. During the 2024 WellChild Awards, Scarlett presented the prince with crystal hearts for him, Meghan, and their children, Archie and Lilibet. Her mother, Aby, commented that the crystals could uplift Harry when he feels down.

Scarlett had undergone significant medical challenges, including two major brain surgeries. Despite personal struggles, she devoted herself to supporting other children. She saved her bravery stickers for hospital peers and used her pocket money to buy toys for wards, embodying the spirit of resilience celebrated by WellChild.

Reflecting on his connection to the charity, Harry spoke about fatherhood in 2021. "Now as a father of two, I feel even more inspired and in awe of the resilience displayed by these families." Through WellChild's support, families overcome intense challenges daily.
