The Duke of Sussex reflects on WellChild’s impact as the Waleses quietly show their support
Prince William and his wife Catherine continue to support Harry in a cause that has remained close to his heart for nearly two decades.
The Duke of Sussex has been Patron of the children’s charity WellChild since 2007, building a deep and lasting relationship with the organisation. The charity focuses on helping seriously ill children live safely at home, supported by specialist nurses and tailored care within their own communities.
Over the years, Harry has regularly attended WellChild’s annual awards, spending time with children and their families, offering encouragement and helping raise awareness and funds. His personal approach and long-term commitment have brought added visibility to the charity’s work and the challenges faced by families caring for children with complex medical needs.
Earlier this month, Harry shared a heartfelt letter as part of WellChild’s latest Impact Report. In it, he spoke about being continually inspired by the strength and resilience of the WellChild community, particularly at a time when health and social care services are under intense pressure. He noted that the charity continues to act as a lifeline by advocating for families, innovating care solutions and ensuring children can be supported at home wherever possible.
WellChild shared the letter on its official Instagram account, which is followed by more than 22,000 people. Among those followers is the official account of Prince William and Catherine, a small but clear sign that the Prince and Princess of Wales continue to stand behind Harry’s long-running charitable work.
