Prince Harry shares a sweet detail about Lilibet
The Duke, ever the sport, was delighted to see "Raffy," the giraffe toy Noah had during their first meeting, still in tow. "Is this the same one? No way!” exclaimed an astonished Harry, sharing a glimpse into his own life as a parent by revealing: "My daughter Lili has these Lovies."
The playful banter didn't stop there. As Noah continued his soft toy assault, Prince Harry couldn't help but jest, "You are so naughty!" Yet, the humor was tinged with warmth and admiration, as Harry wished Tracy luck with a knowing smile. Tracy's pride in her son was palpable, her words echoing the resilience and brightness Noah brings despite his constant pain and the myriad of health challenges he faces, including cerebral palsy and chronic lung disease.
A night of stars and stories
The WellChild Awards wasn't just about the glitz and glamour of celebrity guests like Kate Garraway and Myleene Klass. It was a night to spotlight incredible stories of courage, resilience, and the human spirit. Prince Harry, mingling with winners and their families, was set to present Noah with the award for Inspirational Child, 4 to 6 years old, a testament to the young boy's unwavering spirit and his efforts to fundraise for the charities that support him.
Last year's awards, shadowed by the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's death, saw Harry paying tribute to his late grandmother. This year, the focus was on the future, on celebrating the strength and spirit of children like Noah, and on the professionals and families who support them.
