Praised for his grounded approach as he steps back into charitable work
Prince Harry has resumed his charitable duties in the United Kingdom, earning praise for his hands-on and down-to-earth approach. After attending the 20th WellChild Awards, the Duke of Sussex visited the Community Recording Studio (CRS) in Nottingham, where he met with the organisation’s leaders and young people involved in its programmes.
Trevor Rose, CEO of CRS, described Harry as caring and genuinely invested in their mission. “It’s fun and jokes the whole way,” Rose said. “He wants to know how best he can support us. He’s still the same person he’s always been. He cares about what we’re trying to do.”
Jourdan Blair, who leads youth engagement and studio management at CRS, echoed that view. “You’d think with his status his head would be in the clouds, but no—he’s grounded. His feet are on the ground, and he’s ready to put the work in,” Blair said.
During this visit, it was also announced that Harry has donated £1.1 million of his personal wealth to BBC Children in Need to support grassroots groups tackling youth violence. He praised the work of organisations like CRS and Epic Partners as “not only inspiring – it’s essential.”
