In Birmingham on Thursday, the duke celebrated the efforts of the WellChild charity, which he has supported for many years, becoming patron in 2007.<\/p>\n

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the WellChild nurses, who help to co-ordinate care for children between home and hospital, in a project that Prince Harry helped to fund.<\/p>\n

On the duke’s visit he met Nicky Holt, one of more than 50 nurses funded by WellChild, whose specialism is working with children who need ventilation to help them breathe.<\/p>\n

The duke chatted to some of the young patients on the wards and also some of their families.<\/p>\n

Earlier on Thursday, a train with Invictus branding was unveiled at London’s Euston Station, with the name Spirit of Invictus.<\/p>\n

The train will run on the route to Birmingham, which will be the host next year for the games, which celebrate the achievements of injured service men and women.<\/p>\n

A row over security arrangements meant that Prince Harry did not bring Meghan or their children Archie and Lilibet<\/a> to events in London, as had been originally planned.<\/p>\n

But Prince Harry’s team did not rule out that Meghan and their children might come to the UK later in week – and it’s not yet known whether or not Meghan will appear at events in Birmingham and the Midlands.<\/p>\n

That could include an Invictus event at Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre on Friday.<\/p>\n

There has also been speculation about whether Prince Harry and his wife and children will meet King Charles, but so far no plans for a meeting have been revealed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In Birmingham on Thursday, the duke celebrated the efforts of the WellChild charity, which he has supported for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":682402,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[96,59,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-682401","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/682401","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=682401"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/682401\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/682402"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=682401"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=682401"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=682401"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
