Prince Harry made his first official engagement since returning to the UK on Thursday by attending the Invictus Spirit Awards at the Royal Naval College in London. Dressed in a tuxedo with military medals, he waved to photographers and greeted members of the Irish Guards. This marks a new phase for Harry as a private citizen who will not undertake royal duties but may attend events like the WellChild Awards next week and the Clinton Global Initiative annual meeting in New York later this month.

Story summary
On September 17, Prince Harry, along with his wife Meghan and their children Archie (7) and Lilibet (5), made their first public appearances in London since returning to Britain after six years in California on August 26. The couple's return was initially met with ambiguity regarding their status within the royal family, but they are now considered "private citizens" by King Charles III.
Prince Harry attended two events focused on his Invictus Games charity for wounded veterans: an inaugural Invictus Spirit Gala Dinner & Awards and a Save the Children event addressing children injured in conflict. During these engagements, he posed for photographs and gave speeches highlighting the importance of support and resilience within the military community.
Simultaneously, King Charles faced criticism over remarks reportedly made about his late ex-wife Princess Diana by her brother Earl Spencer, who claims Charles said, "rest assured, we'll forget her soon enough" shortly after Diana's death in 1997. In response, Buckingham Palace defended Charles, stating that grief can distort memory and judgment.
These events come amid a period of increased scrutiny for the British monarchy, with multiple publications focusing on Harry’s return and the controversial comments about Princess Diana.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.

Neither William nor Charles has commented publicly on Harry and Meghan's return to the U.K.
Harry's relations with some of his royal family members, particularly William, have been strained in the years since his departure from the U.K.
The only statement the royal family has given on the Sussexes' return is a letter released on Sept. 8 under the direction of King Charles, advising that Harry and Meghan will remain "private citizens" and will not be working royals while living in the U.K.
Harry and Meghan were "surprised" by the letter, their spokesperson told ABC News at the time.
