Prince William and Harry can ‘patch up’ relationship but they ‘won’t fix it’

Prince Harry made a surprise appearance at a families event in London where he spoke of the “juggle” of having two children.

Harry has just returned to the United Kingdom from his home in Los Angeles and was not expected at Kew Gardens where the Wellchild Awards were being held - where ordinary British families mingled with A-listers, including singers Ed Sheeran and Anne-Marie.

Sheeran and Harry pair discussed fatherhood, reported The Sun.

“Two is definitely a juggle,” Harry told the pop star.

We’ve been lucky so far, she’s very chilled and seems happy to just sit there while Archie is running around like crazy,” he added.

The 36-year-old dad and wife Meghan Markle welcomed daughter Lilibet - named after the Queen - earlier this month.

In a statement after the event, Harry gushed: “As a father of two, I feel all the more connected, inspired and in awe of the resilience of these families.”

He was pictured looking deep in thought as he was driven into the event, which came a day before he is set to join brother William at the unveiling of a statue of their mum, Princess Diana, at her former home Kensington Palace on what would have been her 60th birthday.

The statue was first commissioned by the royal brothers in 2017 to mark the 20th anniversary of their mother’s death and as recognition of her “positive impact” on the world.

At the time, the two released a statement saying: “It has been 20 years since our mother’s death and the time is right to recognise her positive impact in the UK and around the world with a permanent statue.

“Our mother touched so many lives. We hope the statue will help all those who visit Kensington Palace to reflect on her life and her legacy.”

Harry’s visit home is the first since he blasted the royal family for his upbringing on his show promoting mental health and in podcasts, accusing them of “neglect” and claiming he quit the UK for the US to “break the cycle of pain”.

Harry arrived at Heathrow Airport on Friday before being driven to Frogmore Cottage, his home with Meghan before they moved to California last year where he completed his quarantine.
