PRINCE Harry will return to Britain for the second time in a month this time for a charity bash, it can be revealed.
The Duke of Sussex, 40, is set to attend the WellChild Awards ceremony in London on September 30.
It comes just weeks after The Sun exclusively revealed Harry had secretly jetted back to Britain for his uncle’s memorial service.
The California-based royal spent three hours at the church and reception in Snettisham, Norfolk, with William – but the warring siblings did not speak.
The Duke of Sussex was also in the UK in May for the 10th anniversary of his Invictus Games at St Paul’s Cathedral.
But his father King Charles was too busy to see his errant son.
Wills, 42, has not spoken to his younger brother for two years due to insults and revelations in his six-part Netflix documentary and memoir Spare.
Harry jetted to the UK to see his dad just hours after he revealed he had been diagnosed with cancer in February.
But was limited to only half an hour with his father in London and prevented from joining him during his recovery from treatment in Sandringham.
Harry is suing the Home Office after his right to 24-hour armed police was removed when he stepped down as a working royal four and half years ago.
In July, he claimed it was “too dangerous” to travel to the UK with Meghan.
He told ITV: “It’s still dangerous, and all it takes is one lone actor, one person who reads this stuff to act on what they have read and whether it’s a knife or acid, whatever it is, and these are things that are of genuine concern for me.
“It’s one of the reasons why I won’t bring my wife back to this country.”
Harry is patron of WellChild which gives seriously ill children, young people and their families across the UK the best chance to thrive at home.
The duke has attended the WellChild Awards on twelve previous occasions.
But there was no mention of his wife, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, accompanying him.
He will spend time with each winner and their families at a pre-ceremony reception, listening to their stories and helping create lifelong memories.
And he is set to attend the ceremony and present the Award for Inspirational Child (aged 4-6) and deliver a speech.
He said: “I am once again honoured to attend this year’s WellChild Awards celebrating the remarkable courage and achievements of children living with complex medical needs.
“These incredible young people, along with the dedicated caregivers, nurses, and professionals who tirelessly support them, inspire us all. It is a true privilege to recognise such extraordinary individuals.”
Last year’s guests included Tom Felton, Sophie-Ellis Bextor, Danny Jones and host Gaby Roslin.
WellChild Chief Executive, Matt James said: “Across the UK, an increasing number of children and young people are living with long-term, complex medical needs.
“Alongside their families, they navigate extraordinary challenges each day.
“Through the WellChild Awards 2024, in association with GSK, we aim to highlight the immense difficulties they face and to celebrate their remarkable resilience and spirit.
“This event also offers an opportunity to honour the selfless dedication of those who support them – whether it be siblings, parent carers or professionals who have gone above and beyond to give these children the best possible chance to thrive.”
In what appeared to be a brief end to hostilities, the Duke of Sussex’s 40th birthday was marked on the Royal Family’s social media alongside a photo of him beaming.
The official account shared a snap of California-based Harry smiling in a grey suit and white shirt.
On X, the note and picture was shared by The Prince and Princess of Wales account with the message: “Wishing a Happy 40th Birthday to The Duke of Sussex.”
In 2018, The Sun told how “simmering tension” began when William questioned the speed of Harry and Meghan’s engagement.
The first hints of friction reportedly came after William was introduced to Meghan when she was staying at Kensington Palace.
Once she’d returned home to Canada, William and Harry sat down for a brother-to-brother chat.
He knew Harry was already head-over-heels for her but it has been claimed he advised him to take it slowly.
The younger prince reportedly didn’t take too kindly to the advice, with one royal source saying he “went mental”.
Then in June 2019 Harry and Meghan officially split off from the charity they shared with William and Kate.
The Royal Foundation will be divided between the Sussexes and Cambridges as the couples focus on their own separate charitable endeavours.
Prince William and Prince Harry first established the Royal Foundation in 2009 before Kate joined two years later shortly after their engagement was announced.
The trio would often appear together at events and the Foundation had huge successes with projects like the Invictus Games for injured veterans and the mental health Heads Together campaign.
The Royal Foundation said the decision was made following the conclusion of a review into its structure – but added both couples will continue to work together in the future.
Harry and Meg were living in close proximity to Kate and Wills within the Kensington Palace estate, but they switched to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor before baby Archie was born.
The move further increased rumours of a fallout.
Harry, 39, also hinted in his ITV documentary “Harry and Meghan, An African Journey” that he and his brother had grown apart.
It came after Prince Philip called Meghan the “D.O.W” after the Duchess of Windsor — the American divorcee who led Edward VIII to abdicate.
And he warned the late Queen to be “cautious” of Harry’s then bride-to-be, a royal author claims.
Ingrid Seward revealed in new book My Mother And I that Prince Philip felt it was “uncanny…how much Meghan reminded him of the Duchess of Windsor“.
In 2021, Harry and Meghan give their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey where Harry accused his dad of cutting him off financially.
Harry then jetted back to UK to join William in unveiling a statue to their mother Princess Diana in the grounds of Kensington Palace. But sources claimed William didn’t want to attend the memorial amid their ongoing rift.
In 2022, just before their grandmother the Queen died, sources claimed Kate acts as a “peacemaker” between the brothers.
Last year Harry claimed his brother “knocked him to the floor” during an argument about Meghan.
In his book Spare, Harry said William branded Meghan “rude” and “difficult” during a row.
Harry alleged William “grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and … knocked me to the floor”.
He said he was left with a visible injury to his back following the argument in 2019 at Nottingham Cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace, where he was living at the time.
In January this year, Harry flew in to be with Charles after the monarch’s shock cancer diagnosis.
Harry flew back to the US the following day – without seeing Wills.
