At the ceremony Prince Harry delivered an emotional speech. He explained how the stories of the children and families motivate him each year. He acknowledged the parents, caregivers and healthcare providers for their efforts and dedication. He referred to them as "superheroes." As a father Prince Harry said that he knows the emotional problems of parenting. He was moved by the strength that these families show on a daily basis when caring for their children.
During the event Prince Harry gave the award to the Inspirational Child in the 4-6 age group. He spent time with the winners and their families including 10 year old Scarlett Cripps who won the 7-11 age group. Scarlett even gave Harry some crystal hearts for his wife Meghan and their two children Archie and Lilibet as a sweet gesture.
Even though there were rumors that Harry would meet his father King Charles or his brother Prince William there was no family reunion. His visit focused entirely on the WellChild Awards and spending time with the children and families taking part.
Even though there are personal problems Prince Harry's loyalty to WellChild remains unchanged. The WellChild Awards are still important to his heart. His speech expressed his admiration for the strength and determination of the families he met.
