Britain's Prince Harry made his first ​public appearance on Thursday since he and ‌his wife Meghan returned to Britain after six years in California, saying, "It's good to be back on British ​soil."

Harry, the younger son of King Charles, ​relocated last month with Meghan and their ⁠children Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, ​5, surprising even their close family.

The royal attended ​the inaugural Invictus Spirit Awards in London, which are linked to the Invictus Games, the sporting competition for ​wounded, injured and sick military veterans that ​he founded.

Earlier, Harry spoke at an event focused on improving ‌the ⁠care of children wounded in conflict hosted by charity Save the Children and Imperial College London.

His appearances came on a busy day for Britain's ​royals, with ​Charles hosting ⁠a conference for AI leaders amid criticism in a forthcoming book by the brother ​of his late first wife, Diana. ​The ⁠book by Charles Spencer is being serialised in the Daily Mail.

In the latest extracts published on ⁠Thursday, Spencer ​said King Charles sounded "like a ​lottery winner" after the death of Diana.
