  • Prince Harry has personally donated £1.1 million to BBC Children in Need to support young people affected by violence.
  • The Duke of Sussex announced the gift during a visit to the Community Recording Studio in Nottingham on Tuesday.
  • The funds, sourced from his personal wealth rather than his Archewell foundation, are primarily for grassroots organisations in Nottingham tackling youth violence, especially knife crime.
  • Harry reaffirmed his long-standing commitment to Nottingham, a city he has visited for nearly 15 years to address these issues.
  • BBC Children in Need will supplement Harry's donation with an additional £300,000 for the same cause.
