Molly‑Mae Hague attended the WellChild Awards at the Royal Lancaster Hotel on Monday night and was photographed alongside the Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, who has returned to the U.K. for a series of charitable engagements.
The 26‑year‑old businesswoman and influencer wore a tailored black two‑piece with statement lapels, simple heels and a black Hermès Mini Kelly bag, which has been reported to retail at about £23,000. The event — which celebrates the inspirational qualities of seriously ill children in the U.K. and the professionals who care for them — attracted a number of well‑known guests, including Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood and his wife Sally, and singer Joss Stone.
Harry, who has been patron of WellChild for 17 years, presented an award at the ceremony. He arrived in London after touching down at Heathrow and being escorted from the airport. Earlier in the visit he was reported to have been to Windsor Castle, where he paid private respects at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor, and he is scheduled for several charity engagements in the coming days, organisers said.
A visit to a Community Recording Studio in Nottingham is planned for Tuesday, where Harry’s team said he will announce a substantial donation to Children in Need to support work addressing violence affecting young people. Additional engagements scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday include appearances linked to the Invictus Games and the Diana Award.
The trip is Harry’s longest to the U.K. since 2022 and comes amid renewed public attention on his relationship with the royal family. Buckingham Palace has not confirmed any meeting between Harry and King Charles; the palace declined to comment. The two men last met in February 2024 after the king’s cancer diagnosis was announced. Reports in The Mail on Sunday said a meeting is not off the table and that, if an invitation were extended, Harry would make himself available. The newspaper quoted an unnamed source saying the only people likely to know of any planned meeting would be the king, his private secretary and Harry.
Harry’s legal challenge over the level of security protection he receives in the U.K. was dismissed in April. In that ruling, Judge Sir Geoffrey Vos said the duke’s "sense of grievance" did not translate into a legal argument. Harry and his wife, Meghan, stepped back as working royals in 2020 and relocated to California.
Prince William has official engagements scheduled throughout Harry’s visit and is not expected to attend WellChild events during the same days, royal aides said. The WellChild Awards continue to spotlight families and medical professionals supporting children with serious illness, and the ceremony drew a cross section of public figures and entertainers who attended to recognise award recipients.
