The Duke of Sussex has returned to the UK this week for a series of engagements, raising questions about whether he had plans to see his father, King Charles, and brother Prince William, during the trip.
The WellChild Awards celebrates the inspirational qualities of the UK’s seriously ill children, and the professionals who help care for them.
Molly-Mae looked great in her smart suit which featured statement lapels and was teamed with simple heels to boost her height. Â
She added a black Hermès Mini Kelly bag to her look which retails at a whopping £23,000.

William’s brother touched down at Heathrow Airport on Monday, but has made the transatlantic trip on his own.
Harry’s trip to the UK, which includes four days of official engagements, will be his longest since he and Meghan visited in 2022 when Queen Elizabeth II died.
The Duke was last in the UK in April when he lost his legal challenge over the level of security protection he receives from the government while he is in Britain – after he and Meghan stepped down as working royals and moved to California in 2020.
Harry was appealing a ruling dismissing his challenge to the level of police protection he receives in the UK – but Judge Sir Geoffrey Vos ruled the Duke’s ‘sense of grievance’ did not ‘translate into a legal argument’.
Buckingham Palace is remaining tight-lipped on whether the King, who is currently at his Scottish residence in Birkhall, will meet his estranged son for the first time in 19 months.
But recently there have been signs that the fractured relationship is easing and that a reconciliation could be within reach.
The father and son last met in February 2024, when Harry flew to the UK after it was announced that Charles had been diagnosed with cancer.
Prince William, who has taken a much firmer line on rekindling relations with his brother, has official engagements elsewhere on every day of Harry’s visit.

Harry was earlier pictured arriving at Los Angeles International Airport in California wearing a casual black polo shirt and sunglasses. When he touched down in London, he was escorted out of Heathrow in a Range Rover.
The Duke was then whisked away to Windsor Castle, where he paid his private respects to Queen Elizabeth II at her final resting place at St George’s Chapel.
She was buried in the King George VI Memorial Chapel, a small annexe off the main chapel, alongside her husband, her parents and her sister.
Harry later arrived at the WellChild Awards in London, a charity which supports youngsters affected by terminal and serious illness and their families.
He has been its patron for 17 years – even after stepping down as a working royal – and will present an award.
On Tuesday he will visit the Community Recording Studio in Nottingham. His team says he will use the visit to announce a ‘substantial donation’ to charity Children in Need to support its work tackling violence impacting young people.
Harry has engagements on Wednesday and Thursday with other charities he is involved in, including the Invictus Games and the Diana Award.
The King has spent most of the summer at his Balmoral estate in Scotland, but is set to be in the capital mid-week for his cancer treatment.

Currently, there is no specified window for a meeting with Charles. However, The Mail on Sunday reported that should an invitation to meet be extended, Harry would drop everything to attend.
A source said: ‘A meeting with Charles is not off the table but the only people who would know about it are Clive Alderton [the King’s private secretary] and Charles and Harry.
‘If anything is planned, then he is keeping this extremely close to his chest. It certainly is part of his intention to see his father.
‘If it’s on Wednesday, then he would make it work.’
