Harry and William back separate London charity events on same evening
Prince Harry appeared in person at a London gala raising funds for organisations supporting Ukraine, while Prince William sent a recorded message to a separate charity ball six miles away. The events brought the estranged brothers into the public eye on the same evening, with each supporting a different cause.

William’s message to the inaugural Bowelbabe Fund Rebel Ball honoured cancer campaigner Dame Deborah James on what would have been her 45th birthday; the event raised money for her fund and Cancer Research UK, which has supported pioneering research.
