Among the waiting crowd was Margaret Wilson, 66, who travelled from Mansfield wearing a purple “Team Harry. Lifetime Member. Man. Myth. Legend” T-shirt. She said she wanted Harry to know about her support, adding: “He’s doing a lot for charity and he’s not even on the payroll.”
Elderly couple Graham and Patricia, aged 82 and 81, set up chairs on the pavement to catch a glimpse of the Duke. Graham explained his wife has always been a fan and they wanted to see Harry while they still could, saying: “We’re getting old now, we may never get the chance again.”
Royal family separation
The visit forms part of Harry’s rare four-day solo charity trip to the UK, during which he has not met with his father King Charles or brother Prince William. On Monday, Harry privately laid flowers at Queen Elizabeth II’s grave in St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, while William visited a WI branch just seven miles away.
Harry has not seen King Charles face-to-face for more than 18 months, reportedly due to his ongoing court battle over security arrangements. The King, who is still undergoing cancer treatment, will not speak to his son because of the legal dispute, according to Harry.
