Prince William told he shouldn't meet Prince Harry while he's in the UK

Prince Harry arrived in the UK earlier this week and will have a busy four days in the UK conducting charity engagements and endeavours. But the return to his home country sparked discussion about whether he could possibly meet with his father, King Charles or his brother, Prince William.

An Express poll has revealed an overwhelming response from Express readers on whether Prince William should meet with his younger brother this week. Ninety per cent of readers (4,627 votes) voted against William meeting Harry during his current trip to the UK. Meanwhile, 8.9 percent of readers (451 votes) voted with the view that the Prince of Wales should see the Duke of Sussex.

Just over one percent of voters were unsure if the two brothers should meet. The Duke has been estranged from the royals since he quit the Firm in 2020 and has not seen his father since February last year, while he is said not to be on speaking terms with the Prince of Wales.

Prince Harry arrived in the UK on the third anniversary of the late Queen's death - for the annual WellChild Awards, a cause close to his heart as the charity's long-standing patron.

On Tuesday, Harry visited a Community Recording Studio (CRS). Despite relocating to California, more than 5,000 miles away, and giving up his role as a working royal, Harry vowed to maintain his links with Nottingham.

"I'll continue to stand with you," he said in a speech at the event. "Nottingham has my respect, it always has, my commitment, and a permanent place in my heart."

The duke said the city had taught him "important lessons" and had "truly" inspired him.

He first visited the Community Recording Studio in 2013 and was deeply inspired by the teenagers involved and their mentors.

The duke has since returned on multiple occasions, both privately and on official royal engagements, most recently in 2019.

He praised the work of the CRS and community outreach group Epic Partners, but acknowledged that the challenges facing such communities "remain serious and sadly aren't getting any easier".

Harry said: "Violence impacting young people, particularly knife crime, continues to devastate lives, cut futures short, and leave families in grief. I've been committed to this work for over a decade, and sadly, the urgency today is even greater than when I first began. We cannot, and must not, and will not look away."

The Duke of Sussex announced he had personally donated £1.1 million to BBC Children in Need to support young people affected by violence.

Harry announced his gift, which has come from his own money rather than his charity, the Archewell Foundation.

While the duke was in Nottingham, Prince William was carrying out an engagement in Lambeth, south London, at youth organisation Spiral Skills.
