Summary
Birmingham Children's Hospital gave Prince Harry a warmer reception on Thursday, with staff applauding his arrival as he met young patients and families during a WellChild visit.
20 years of WellChild nursing formed the focus of the stop, where Harry highlighted the charity he has backed since 2007 and met Nicky Holt, one of more than 50 nurses it funds.
The hospital appearance helped shift attention from a difficult start to his UK trip, after his court defeat against Associated Newspapers and a public dispute over Buckingham Palace accommodation.
Security tensions have also kept Meghan and their children away so far, though aides have not ruled out a later UK appearance ahead of Friday's Invictus event in Birmingham.
