Prince Harry adds new public appearance to his UK visit

Prince Harry regularly attends the annual event and his appearance on September 8th will be his 15th time at the award ceremony.

However, the Duke of Sussex has now confirmed a second public appearance in the UK for September 9th.

On Tuesday, Prince Harry will travel to Nottingham to visit the Community Recording Studio (CRS).

He will be announcing a substantial donation to Children in Need to help support their work tackling violence impacting young people.

Beyond the announcement of the donation, the purpose of Prince Harry’s visit is to bring together key stakeholders, influencers, and potential funders to support and celebrate the transformative work of Nottingham-based grassroots organisations like CR, Epic Partners, and the sports apprenticeship body, Coach Core.

Prince Harry’s trip to the UK next week will be the first time the Duke of Sussex has returned since suffering a crushing court defeat in May 2025.

It will end the royal’s hiatus from the UK, which has gone on for four months since he lost his legal battle for taxpayer-funded armed police protection.

Harry had claimed he was "singled out" for "unjustified, inferior treatment" since leaving royal duties five years ago.

His barrister argued that the removal of Met Police armed bodyguards had left the duke's life "at stake" in the UK.

The California-based royal had fought the dismissal of his High Court claim against the Home Office.

The case centred on a decision by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) that Harry should receive a different degree of protection when visiting the country.

Ultimately, the Court of Appeal ruled against the Duke, with Sir Geoffrey Vos, Master of the Rolls, dismissing his appeal.

In his ruling, Sir Geoffrey Vos concluded: "Having studied the detail, I could not say that the Duke's sense of grievance translated into a legal argument to challenge RAVEC's decision.

The Master of the Rolls was definitive in his judgment, adding: "My conclusion was that the Duke of Sussex's appeal would be dismissed."

The ruling meant that armed police bodyguards, paid for by the British taxpayer, will not be automatically reinstated for Harry, Meghan and their two children when in the UK.
