Prince Harry makes first public appearances since return to U.K.

Prince Harry makes his first public appearance since returning to Britain last month at the first-ever Invictus Spirit Awards in London.

Prince Harry made his first public appearance on Thursday since he and his wife Meghan returned to Britain after six years in California, saying, “It’s good to be back on British soil.”

Harry, the younger son of King Charles, relocated last month with Meghan and their children Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, surprising even their close family.

The royal attended the inaugural Invictus Spirit Awards in London, which are linked to the Invictus Games, the sporting competition for wounded, injured and sick military veterans that he founded.

Earlier, Harry spoke at an event focused on improving the care of children wounded in conflict hosted by charity Save the Children and Imperial College London.

His appearances came on a busy day for Britain’s royals, with Charles hosting a conference for AI leaders amid criticism in a forthcoming book by the brother of his late first wife, Diana, former Princess of Wales. The book by Charles Spencer is being serialized in the Daily Mail.

In the latest extracts published on Thursday, Spencer said King Charles sounded “like a lottery winner” after the death of Diana.
