LONDON — Prince Harry returned to Britain on Monday for a charity event for seriously ill children, appearing happy and playful as he chatted with the youngsters.

Prince Harry is patron of the charity, WellChild, and attended their annual awards ceremony at a hotel in central London. He paid tribute to the children and teenagers recognised at the event, calling them "little legends" who remind him "of the strength of the human spirit".

Harry was encouraged to share crystal hearts from Scarlett Cripps with Meghan Markle, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet if they need to “feel a lot happier”
