Prince William is set to step out in London today following Prince Harry’s triumphant appearance at the WellChild Awards in the city last night.

Harry, 40, made headlines with his affinity for the children present and burst into laughter when a cheeky youngster grabbed his beard.

He was attending the event as a patron for the event, which celebrates the achievements of seriously ill young people and their carers.

William, 42, meanwhile, will promote his Earthshot Prize today with a visit to a 2023 finalist, ENSO, which specialises in creating sustainable tyres for electric vehicles.

The award, established by the prince in 2020, recognises and supports those doing groundbreaking environmental work.

It is believed the two brothers will not see each other, despite appearing to be in the city at the same time, following a deterioration in their relationship in recent years.

They are said to have kept their distance at their uncle Lord Robert Fellowes’s funeral this summer and have not been photographed in public together since the late Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September 2022.

James Middleton provides update on Princess of Wales’s health

James Middleton has provided an update on the Princess of Wales’s health now that she has completed her chemotherapy treatment.

Her younger brother, 37, is opening up about his life and family following the release of his new memoir, Meet Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life.

Speaking on the TODAY program, he said: “She’s doing ok. It’s not for me to share on her behalf, you know, how everything’s going.

“But she’s getting all the right support and focus that she needs. And like anything, it takes time to process.”
