Harry heard of the additional challenges that families with special needs children are facing as a result of the Covid-19 crisis. Their concerns included the fear that their children, many of whom have very vulnerable health conditions, might contract the virus, as well as struggles to obtain sufficient personal protective equipment (PPE). Prince Harry heard how families around the UK are giving emotional support to one another through the charity’s online community, the WellChild Family Tree. Harry got to meet some of the children during the chat. 

Prince Harry has been patron of WellChild for more than 10 years. He was keen to learn what he might be able to do to help the charity during this exceptionally difficult time.

(And in case anyone wants to bitch about the fact that Meghan is not wearing head-to-toe black, in mourning for Prince Phillip, Princess Anne was out and about this week wearing a very non-black hue called Red - just getting this in first before the trolls start) Photo as published by the New York Post
