Above all else, the Duke of Sussex is a father first, and his two young children, Prince Archie of Sussex and Princess Lilibet of Sussex, may have helped him choose his accessory for his trip home to London.
Today Prince Harry attended the annual WellChild Awards 2024 - an organisation he is a patron of - for the event celebrates the achievements and resilience of seriously ill children and their families.
For the occasion, Harry chose to trade in his usual Hermès silk tie selection for a baby blue-toned option, adorned with tiny shark and submarine motifs. He paired the fun tie with a sleek dark navy blue suiting look, a crisp white button-up shirt and his beloved stack of colourful bracelets.

The Duke of Sussex and his wife, Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex welcomed their first child together back in 2019 and soon after gave birth to their daughter in 2021. We can’t know for certain if either Archie or Lilibet had a say in what their dad wore to attend the event, but we have a sneaky suspicion that sharks and submarines are likely high up on the five and three-year-olds fascination list.
In a previous interview with the BBC via a spokesperson Harry mentioned just how important his family is to him, stating: "Becoming a father of two incredibly kind and funny kids has given me a fresh perspective on life, as well as sharpening my focus in all my work.
Being a dad is one of life's greatest joys and has only made me more driven and more committed to making this world a better place."
