The ceremony was due to be attended by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex but they pulled out after Buckingham Palace released a statement regarding the Queen's ongoing health concerns.

A statement from an official spokesperson read: "Following further evaluation this morning, The Queen's doctors are concerned for Her Majesty's health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision. The Queen remains comfortable and at Balmoral."

Soon after it was confirmed that Prince Harry and Meghan were on their way to Balmoral.

Prince Harry has been patron of the charity since 2007 and continually takes an active interest in the work of WellChild, having met with many of the children and young people, nurses, researchers and volunteers who have been involved with the charity throughout the years.
