Prince Harry took part on Sunday in a Remembrance Sunday ceremony in tribute to soldiers who died in combat in Brackley, Northamptonshire, away from the official commemorations organised in London by King Charles III, according to Agence France-Presse. Wearing his military uniform, the prince attended the ceremony with residents of the town located north-west of London.
In London, Charles III laid a wreath of poppies at the Cenotaph, the memorial dedicated to soldiers, accompanied in particular by Prince William and Princess Anne. The ceremony brought together Prime Minister Andy Burnham, his predecessors and other political figures, while Queen Camilla and Princess Kate attended from a balcony of the Foreign Office, according to Agence France-Presse.
The commemorations began on Saturday evening with a concert at the Royal Albert Hall attended by the royal family. Remembrance Sunday is held each year on the Sunday closest to 11 November, the date of the 1918 armistice between Germany and the Allies, according to Agence France-Presse.
Prince Harry, who served in the army and carried out several missions in Afghanistan, created the Invictus Games, a sporting competition for wounded veterans. Harry and his wife Meghan have no longer been active members of the royal family since their departure for the United States in 2020, according to Agence France-Presse.
