Prince Harry's charity is seeking a new trustee with paediatric care experience, just days after the Duke of Sussex stepped down from Sentebale.
The recruitment drive comes shortly after Harry departed from the African charity that he co-founded in 2006.
WellChild, which has enjoyed Harry's patronage since 2007, is specifically looking for a doctor with expertise in caring for children and young people with complex medical needs.
The charity has outlined clear requirements for the trustee position, emphasising the need for experience in paediatric care.

The timing of this recruitment has drawn attention following recent changes in Harry's charitable commitments.
This recruitment will not impact Prince Harry's role as patron of the charity. WellChild is simply looking to add a new trustee with specific medical expertise to their board.
The Duke of Sussex has maintained his connection with WellChild since becoming patron in 2007.
