Crowd sparse at Nottingham's appearance of Prince Harry in England

Prince Harry, aged 40, is currently on a visit to England, marking day two of his stay. The royal started his day by honouring Queen Elizabeth II on the third anniversary of her death by laying a wreath at Windsor Castle on Monday.

Later in the day, Prince Harry celebrated the 20th anniversary of the WellChild charity at the London Royal Lancaster Hotel. As the patron of the charity for years, he made a significant contribution to its cause.

Meanwhile, the local interest in Prince Harry's visit was relatively low, with approximately 100 people gathering to welcome him. This is in stark contrast to his visit to Nottingham in 2017, where he and Duchess Meghan, aged 44, received a much larger crowd of onlookers.

In a possible sign of reconciliation, Prince Harry is likely to meet King Charles III this week. King Charles, aged 76, is currently in Scotland for his summer break and is receiving cancer treatment in London. However, no official statements have been made about a possible meeting between the two at this time. They had a private meeting on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, at Clarence House in London, marking their first meeting in over a year.

On a separate note, Prince William visited the youth organization Spiral Skills in the London borough of Lambeth on Tuesday. According to People Magazine, he visited the institution to support young people and help break cycles of exclusion and unemployment. The Homewards Initiative, founded by Prince William, provided Spiral Skills with new financial resources.

Prince Harry is also set to announce a generous donation to the BBC's Children in Need charity at the Community Recording Studio in Nottingham, an institution that trains young people in film, video, and music production. He arrived 45 minutes later than previously announced.

As for Prince William, details about his activities during his stay in London are not provided in the current paragraph. However, it is known that he has been busy with his own engagements, demonstrating the brothers' separate paths since stepping back from their royal duties.
