The children have no doubt been on the couple's mind. Harry and Meghan made the decision to travel without their young family for their trip across the Atlantic. It's thought they have remained at home in Montecito with their nanny.
Meghan's mother Doria Ragland lives within driving distance of the property, so there's no doubt that their grandma has been visiting on a regular basis.
The WellChild awards celebrate the inspiring qualities of some of the country's seriously ill young people and the dedication of those who go the extra mile to keep children healthy and happy, including health, social care and education professionals.
And HELLO! will be there to record all the best and most emotional moments. Check back to watch the live-streamed awards ceremony from 6.15pm.
