Prince Harry reveals he would joke with late Queen about his career in rare UK interview

Prince Harry made an awkwardly timed comment about siblings and opened up on royal life upon his return to the UK as he was just eight-miles away from his brother Prince William. The brothers have reportedly got no plans to meet each other during Harry's trip.

The Duke of Sussex made an appearance at an awards ceremony for the WellChild charity on Monday where he chatted to attendees. He asked one boy: "Have you got brothers and sisters?"

The boy replied: "Yes I have got a younger brother." Harry quipped: "Does he drive you mad?" The boy said: "Well no, we get on quite well," to which Harry laughed.

Harry also sat down with an award winner, which was filmed by ITV. He refused to give media interviews but said in the chat: "I always used to laugh with my grandparents, funnily enough, about working with children.

"For me, that unpredictability brings so much fun and enjoyment. I have been slapped across the face, I've had my beard pulled. I have had my tie wrapped around my head."

Speaking of his charity work with children, he added: "I have always said for many years that I still have a child inside of me. I think all of us do.

"I think being amongst these kids brings that out of me. I think that out of all the qualities that these kids have, without question, their resilience tops it all."

Prince Harry has returned to the UK for a four day trip, having flown over from California solo,without his wife, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, or their two young children, Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four.

Harry, who is a Wellchild patron, attended the even on Monday evening, which celebrates the achievements and resilience of seriously ill youngsters and their families.

Over the course of just four days, the Duke will also partake in various charity-focused duties, including an informal meet with Children in Need.

It is understood the Prince has given a huge donation to the charity, which supports disadvantaged children across the UK. Upon his arrival, Harry prioritised visiting his grandmother's grave in Windsor.

He was seen paying his respects privately inside St George's Chapel, where he laid a wreath and some flowers. There has been hope Harry could visit his father, King Charles.

But, it is understood to be a different story entirely when it comes to Harry's relationship with his brother Prince William, with the pair understood not to be on speaking terms.

They have nearly crossed paths already as Prince William and his wife Kate, the Princess of Wales, were just on the other side of Windsor Great Park when Harry laid his flowers.

They were meeting with WI members as part of a sweet tribute to the beloved grandmother and monarch.
