“This year holds special significance as we celebrate the 20th WellChild Awards,” Harry, the author of Spare, continued. “It’s a true honor to celebrate the bravery and compassion of this incredible community. We need your help to nominate the exceptional people who inspire you daily. Your support can make all the difference, so please join us in recognizing the amazing individuals who will be honored at the 2025 WellChild Awards.”
Recalling Previous Appearances
Viewers might recall the striking background from a previous video when Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, spoke at the Global Ministerial Conference on Violence Against Children. In that November 2024 video, Harry addressed the pressing need to protect children in today’s world.
“We are at a pivotal moment where the urgency to reassess and redefine our approach to protecting children has become increasingly evident,” Harry said. “While the necessity has always been apparent, it’s now time to turn that awareness into meaningful action. We thank you all for your attention to this critical issue.”
“My husband and I recognize that today’s reality is marked by greater connectivity and advanced technology — which, of course, has many positives,” Meghan, 43, added. “But it also compels us to better understand how digital violence against children is manifesting in this age.”
Montecito Life and Family Moments
Meghan and Harry have been happily settled in Montecito since 2020 after stepping back from their royal duties. They’ve occasionally shared snippets of their life in California through clips and videos on social media and during virtual appearances. It’s clear that this place holds a special place in their hearts.
In December 2024, Harry addressed rumors that he and Meghan were planning to move back to the U.K. with their children, Archie and Lilibet, who were born in 2019 and 2021, respectively. “I very much enjoy living here and bringing up my kids here,” Harry said during the New York Times DealBook Summit. “It’s a part of my life that I never thought I’d live.”

The founder of the Invictus Games also shared that his late mother, Princess Diana, would be proud of the life he’s built. “I feel as though it’s the life that my mom wanted for me,” Harry revealed. “To be able to do the things I’m able to do with my kids that I undoubtedly wouldn’t be able to do in the U.K., it’s huge. I’m hugely grateful for that.”
An insider previously told Closer that Harry feels at ease living in the U.S. with his family. “It was very difficult to leave England, but Harry put his wife and family first,” the insider shared with Closer in September 2024. “It’s made his relationship with Meghan so much stronger, and they’re still very much in love.”
