The Duke of Sussex is eager to spread festive cheer and acknowledge the challenges faced by grieving children during the holiday season, as he prepares to host a virtual festive event.

Prince Harry is set to take on yet another solo engagement, stepping into his role as Global Ambassador for Scotty’s Little Soldiers, a charity supporting bereaved military children.

This year, the Duke of Sussex will host a special video call to share what Christmas is like for a real-life prince.

The festive call is scheduled for Tuesday, December 10, at 6pm, and will include as many members of the charity as possible.

According to Scotty’s Little Soldiers, Prince Harry is eager to spread festive cheer and acknowledge the challenges faced by the children during the holiday season.

“Prince Harry would like to jump on a call with as many of our members as possible to wish them all a Merry Christmas,” outlined an email sent out to the charity’s members.

“He appreciates that the festive season can be hard for our members and wants them to know he is thinking of them.”

During the call, Prince Harry will greet attendees and answer pre-submitted questions.

To manage the high number of participants, most will remain muted, but five lucky members will help run the session and interact directly with the Duke.
