‘Does he drive you mad?’: Prince Harry’s sibling quip at event near – but not with – his brother

Prince Harry donated more than $2 million to a children’s charity during a UK visit that highlighted his estrangement from Prince William, as the brothers attended events near each other with no apparent plans to meet.

One of the largest individual sums publicly given by a member of the British royal family, the donation came from Harry’s personal funds while he visited a program to curb youth violence in Nottingham. There, he listened to rappers and showed off his dance moves with a group of teenagers.

The event brought the prince back to a charity he had visited several times as part of his official duties over many years, in a reminder of his place in the royal family, despite the rupture with his brother and his father, King Charles.

Harry last met his father face-to-face in February last year, soon after Buckingham Palace revealed the King had been diagnosed with cancer.
