Prince Harry given four words of advice by a mother as he returns home to Meghan Markle from UK visit

A mother has offered four words of advice to Prince Harry as he flies home to wife Meghan Markle and his young family following his brief return to the UK.

TV legend Anne Diamond says she is concerned for Harry's welfare and royal standing and has dished out some motherly advice, telling him to "keep your head down" as he returns home, The Duke of Sussex, who's been in the country for the WellChild awards in London, was cautioned by Diamond against seeking "personal redemption or rehabilitation" through "grand gestures or dramatic declarations".

She also urged him not to do anything that might be seen as a slight against his father, King Charles, who is currently battling cancer, telling him he should avoid "saying or doing anything that could be perceived as undermining" Charles III.

Despite being estranged from the Royal family following explosive interviews and revelations in his book 'Spare', Harry, alongside Meghan Markle, has been riding a wave of positive PR, with their recent Columbia trip being hailed a triumph. They're also gearing up for new Netflix projects.

Writing for Express.co.uk, Diamond penned: "Sometimes, the best advice is simple and grounded. So, from one mother to another's child, here's my advice to Harry as he returns home: keep your head down."

While showing empathy for Harry's situation, she stressed: "...Harry must understand that the path to personal redemption or rehabilitation-whatever he seeks-is not achieved overnight. It cannot be won through grand gestures or dramatic declarations. It takes time, humility, and a great deal of quiet reflection. Right now, more than anything, Harry needs to be humble.

"There is no need for him to arrive in Britain and make a spectacle of himself. The WellChild Awards are an opportunity to show compassion and empathy, not to become the centre of attention. Harry must realise that in situations like these, his actions will speak louder than his words. Being gracious, being respectful, and being genuinely present for the children and families honoured at the event will make a far greater impact than any headline-grabbing soundbite. This is a time to let the cause shine, not himself."

Harry, who now resides in the USA, has been stepping out solo recently, making an appearance at a UN gathering in New York without Meghan last month and now heading to the UK on his own. A potential rendezvous with the King was swiftly ruled out, but Diamond remarked: "His father is not only King of the United Kingdom but also a man who has just stepped into the monumental role of sovereign.

"That brings with it unimaginable pressure and responsibility. What Charles needs now, more than ever, is peace. He does not need more controversy, more drama, or more division within his family. Harry has to recognise that this is not the time to stir the pot. His presence in Britain, albeit brief, should be marked by respect for his father's position, for the crown, and, most importantly, for the fragile bonds of family that are still, by many accounts, very much under strain."

Harry was the picture of ease and good spirits at the WellChild presentation, even when he was hilariously upstaged by the antics of seven year old Noah Nicholson, who took to tossing his toys on the floor, much to Harry's amusement as he picked them up. Addressing the young attendees and their families, the Duke shared heartfelt words: "Thank you for your courage, your perseverance, your kindness and of course your humour. And thank you for being you and uplifting all those around you. The WellChild Awards is an event that never fails to inspire me."

He continued, moved by the resilience of these youngsters saying: "The stories of young people who battle against the odds, living lives filled with medical procedures, hospital stays and endless appointments, remind us all of the strength of the human spirit. For many of us it is a daily life we can hardly imagine, and yet somehow, the young people I meet are always smiling and every room they walk into seemingly lights up with warmth and positivity."
