Prince Harry has returned to the UK and met with one of his and Meghan Markle’s prominent supporters, TV presenter Alison Hammond. The duo shares a strong bond, with Alison facing criticism for affectionately referring to the Duke as “babes” during a live segment on This Morning. Harry is currently in the UK on a solo trip, without Meghan Markle and their two children.

Their friendship dates back to December 2017 when Prince Harry and Alison first crossed paths during a royal outing in Nottingham. The encounter, captured during the couple’s visit for World AIDS Day, gained attention as Alison enthusiastically called out to Meghan and Harry in the crowd.

Their connection was further highlighted in a Netflix documentary, where Alison’s voice was featured, leading to Harry playfully imitating her on American television. The Duke recreated a humorous moment from Hammond’s appearance on The Great British Bake Off during an episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

Alison, known for defending Harry and Meghan, has used her platform on This Morning to support the couple. In a Loose Women episode in December 2025, she shared that Meghan had reached out to her on Instagram following the GBBO skit.

Prince Harry revealed that his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, are big fans of Alison. During their recent interaction, Alison humorously invited Harry to her home in Birmingham, offering him a meal of saltfish. The light-hearted banter between the two showcased their warm relationship.
