'Shine A Spotlight On Strength' Prince Harry Makes Emotional Plea For WellChild Nominations

The Duke of Sussex has called on the public to nominate inspirational children and young people with complex medical needs for awards, encouraging them to “shine a spotlight on the remarkable stories of strength, resilience and courage”.The WellChild awards annual ceremony celebrates the inspiring qualities of the UK’s seriously ill children and young people as well as those who support and care for them.At last year’s event at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London, Harry hailed a group of “little legends” for “uplifting all those around you”, with famous faces such as Sir Rod Stewart and his wife Penny Lancaster watching.Harry, who has been patron of the WellChild charity for more than 15 years, said in a video message on the charity’s website: “The WellChild Awards recognise and celebrate the growing number of young people with complex medical conditions from across the United Kingdom, as well as those who go the extra mile to care for them.“They allow us to shine a spotlight on the remarkable stories of strength, resilience and courage that they demonstrate every single day. And this year is especially significant as we celebrate the 20th WellChild Awards.
