Prince Harry is in the United Kingdom this week, and it doesn’t look like he has any plans to see big brother Prince William — or any of his other family members — while he’s in town. Still, that didn’t keep him from cracking a bit of a joke about how complicated sibling relationships can be during an appearance he made on Monday, seemingly speaking from his own experience.
Before he attended the 2025 WellChild Awards on Monday night, Harry met with one of the award winners, 17-year-old Declan Bitmead. According to Hello! magazine, Declan told Harry that he has a little brother, to which Harry responded, “Does he drive you mad?”
Then, he found out that Declan and his brother go to the same school — something that Harry and William experienced when they were both at Eton College — and told him, “That sometimes makes it more challenging.” If anyone would know, it would likely be Harry.
Meanwhile, William was just three hours away at the time, making an appearance of his own in Nottingham. He visited Spiral Skills, an organization that helps serve young people who are experiencing homelessness.
“Homewards funding has enabled Spiral Skills to expand services, increase staffing, and supported the creation of hubs where charities can work together,” read a post shared by Will and Kate’s official Instagram account. “Hope and potential are being unlocked here in Lambeth thanks to the commitment of those who are determined to end homelessness.”
Despite their close proximity (just 130 miles apart) on Monday, William and Harry did not meet up.
During his time in town, Harry did leave a big impact — and not just by appearing at the WellChild Awards. As People reported, he also made a $1.5 million donation to an organization in Nottingham called Children In Need.
“The incredible work being done by grassroots organizations like CRS and Epic Partners is not only inspiring — it’s essential,” Harry said when he visited the organization on Tuesday. “We’re grateful for the support of BBC Children in Need in helping changemakers in the city continue their mission to create safe spaces, build trust, and offer hope and belonging to young people who need it most.”
