Prince Harry sends out invitations for Christmas charity event â without Meghan Markle
Prince Harry has another solo engagement scheduled without his wife, Meghan Markle.
The royal is the Global Ambassador for Scotty’s Little Soldiers, and the charity — which supports bereaved military children — revealed he is hosting a Christmas call on Tuesday, Dec. 10.
The Duke of Sussex, 40, “would like to jump on a call with as many of our members as possible to wish them all a Merry Christmas,” the organization wrote on Wednesday (via Express).
“He appreciates that the festive season can be hard for our members and wants them to know he is thinking of them,” the statement continued.
“This is your chance to get to know the Duke loads better and find out what Christmas is like for a Prince!” it concluded.
Not only will the royal answer questions submitted ahead of time during next month’s chat, but he will also speak directly to five attendees.
The former military pilot has worked with Scotty’s Little Soldiers since 2017.
Earlier this month, Harry penned a poignant letter to the children involved with the charity in honor of Veterans Day and Remembrance Day.
He noted his understanding, “perhaps more than most, [of] the weight of losing a parent at a young age,” referencing his late mother Princess Diana’s death in 1997 when he was 12.
Harry added, “We find strength in the love and memories left behind, and I have seen how communities like yours can offer deep comfort and healing. Scotty’s Little Soldiers embodies this spirit of community.”
His upcoming call marks one of many solo engagements he and Markle, 43, have embarked on in recent months.
Most recently, the “Suits” alum danced with her pals at a haircare line launch in Los Angeles on Nov. 14.
The former actress also stepped out by herself in October for the Children’s Hospital LA Gala as well as an event for the #HalfTheStory Project.
Markle and Harry did team up, however, to issue a video address for the Global Ministerial Conference on Violence Against Children in Colombia on Nov. 8.
The “Deal or No Deal” alum and her husband have been married since 2018 and share son Archie, 5, and daughter Lilibet, 3.
