"When Prince Harry makes a commitment, he sticks to it -- even if it means facing the world after a very publicly embarrassing weekend in Las Vegas.\r\n\r\nOn September 3, two weeks after his boozy party spree in Sin City, the 27-year-old attended the WellChild Awards in London. Wearing a navy blue suit and a red patterned tie, the smiling Brit -- who is a Patron of WellChild -- greeted officers on his way inside InterContinental Hotel.\r\nHarry first met with each winner and their family members before the ceremony began. Harry also spoke with a little boy, Alex Logan, who had previously told a British TV station he planned to tell the Prince, &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m glad you kept your clothes on.&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;You keep looking up at your Mum. It looks like you&amp;apos;re dying to say something but you&amp;apos;re worried she&amp;apos;ll tell you off,&amp;quot; Harry told the 6-year-old, who has leukemia. &amp;quot;I heard you were on ITV earlier and you said something cheeky but let&amp;apos;s not talk about that here.&amp;quot; Later on, Harry presented the award for the Most Inspirational Child (age 3-6) and delivered a speech.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m never shy in coming forward. . .&amp;quot; Harry said, causing the quiet room to roar with laughter. &amp;quot;It is difficult to imagine to imagine a finer, more inspirational group of people than is gathered here tonight. I come along to the WellChild Awards knowing that I will meet old friends and make new ones. I am totally unprepared for the extraordinary reality of what greets me. I leave a very humble man.&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;All of you -- children, families, nurses, doctors -- are too remarkable to describe with mere words,&amp;quot; Harry also said. &amp;quot;You&amp;apos;re fun, brave, inspirational, dedicated, magnificent. . . I think you represent the very best of Britain. Your spirit triumphs through adversity.&amp;quot;\r\nHarry has yet to make an official comment about his wild weekend in the U.S., though party girl Carrie Reichert opened up about it in a recent interview with the U.K. publication The People (as excerpted by The Mirror). In her tell-all, the 32-year-old British beautician who resides in San Diego, California, claimed she and a naked Harry &amp;quot;kissed for 15 to 20 minutes&amp;quot; in his VIP suite.\r\n\r\nA Palace insider denies Reichert&amp;apos;s claims, telling Us Weekly: &amp;quot;The story is not true. Harry&amp;apos;s disappointed, but not surprised, that people are making up stories for money.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nWhile Reichert&amp;apos;s version of events may be exaggerated, fellow Vegas partier Melissa Vagner tells the new issue of Us Weekly (out now) that Harry &amp;quot;had two things in his sights: vodka and women.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
