Prince Harry<\/a> has appeared in a special video filmed from his and wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex’s Montecito mansion to encourage people to vote in the 2025 WellChild Awards.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Prince Harry has called on people to cast their votes for the 2025 WellChild Awards<\/p>\n
The 40-year-old royal is a longtime patron of the UK charity for seriously ill children and encouraged the public to cast their votes to choose the young people to be recognised for their bravery in dealing with \u201ccomplex medical conditions\u201d or a disability. <\/p>\n
Standing outside the door of their $14 million-home in California, Harry said: \u201cEach year, the WellChild Awards, in association with GSK, 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey allow us to shine a spotlight on the remarkable stories of strength, resilience and courage that they demonstrate every single day.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cThis year is especially significant as we celebrate the 20th WellChild Awards.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cIt is a true privilege to honour the bravery and compassion of this incredible community.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nHarry concluded: \u201cYour support can make all the difference.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cSo, please join us in recognising the amazing individuals who will be recognised at the 2025 WellChild Awards.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nNominations can be submitted via www.wellchild.org.uk\/awards until March 9.<\/p>\n
\nHarry \u2013 who became a patron of the non-profit in 2007 \u2013 was speaking for the first time since the devastating wildfires, which have ravaged several areas of Los Angeles and killed at least 29 people since the first blaze on January 7, in the upmarket area of Pacific Palisades. <\/p>\n
\nHarry and Meghan, 43 \u2013 who are parents to Prince Archie, five, and three-year-old Princess Lillibet \u2013 are believed to have offered their home as a refuge to pals and loved ones forced to evacuate their homes due to the fires, which have forced more than 100,000 residents of Los Angeles to seek safety.<\/p>\n
\nThe couple also issued a statement telling residents how they could keep pets and vulnerable residents safe amid the disaster.<\/p>\n
\nThey said: “If a friend, loved one, or pet has to evacuate and you are able to offer them a safe haven in your home, please do.<\/p>\n
\n“And be sure to check in with any disabled or elderly neighbours to see if they need help evacuating. Some families and people have been left with nothing.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cPlease consider donating clothing, children\u2019s toys and clothing, and other essentials.<\/p>\n
\n“The American Red Cross is on the ground helping those in need.”<\/p>\n
\nHarry and Meghan also donated supplies, served meals with the World Central Kitchen in Pasadena, California, thanked first responders and met with affected families as they took in the devastation caused by the fires in LA.<\/p>\n
