Prince Harry spoke about “challenging” sibling relationships as he met WellChild award winners on his first trip to the UK in five months.
The Duke of Sussex joked and laughed with unwell young people ahead of the awards ceremony to celebrate their achievements.
He asked 17-year-old Declan Bitmead - winner of the inspirational young person 15 to 18 years award - about family life and whether he had a sibling. The teenager replied that he had a younger brother.
The duke asked: "Does he drive you mad?" to which Declan replied: "No, we get on fine."
Harry quipped with a smile: "You know what - siblings,” adding, “You're at the same school, that sometimes makes it more challenging.”
It comes following speculation about whether the Duke will see his father, the King, during his visit, with the pair not having met face-to-face in over a year and a half.
The duke is not expected to reunite with his estranged brother, the Prince of Wales, as the two siblings paid their respects to the late Queen Elizabeth on the third anniversary of her death just miles apart.

Harry to visit Community Recording Studio in Nottingham
Harry is due to revisit the Community Recording Studio (CRS) in Nottingham’s St Ann’s area on Tuesday.
Harry last visited the CRS to mark World Mental Health Day in October 2019, just two months before he and the Duchess of Sussex announced they were stepping down as senior working royals and moving to North America.
He is planning to hold a private briefing with Children in Need, the Police and Crime Commission, the CRS and community outreach group Epic Partners in Nottingham, stage informal catch-ups with some of the young people he met before, and watch performances from CRS artists and make a short speech.
