In 2020, Prince Harry\u2019s request for a wreath to be laid at the Cenotaph on his behalf was refused by royal courtiers<\/a>. He had wanted to return to the UK for the event, The Telegraph was told at the time, but would have had no official role and was not invited.<\/p>\n

Harry and Meghan were then pictured laying flowers at the Los Angeles National Cemetery<\/a> and were forced to deny it was a \u201cPR stunt\u201d amid a backlash.<\/p>\n

In 2021, the couple attended a Salute to Freedom gala in New York, where Harry praised the \u201cvalue\u201d of service members and their families.<\/p>\n

The following year, he sent a letter of support to children who have lost a parent while serving in the armed forces, encouraging them to speak about their experiences.<\/p>\n

\u2018Lifelong admiration and appreciation\u2019<\/h2>\n

In 2023, the Duke, who is no longer permitted to wear military uniform to ceremonial events, marked Remembrance Day with a statement saying that \u201ccontributions do not stop because you no longer wear the uniform<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n

In 2024, he reaffirmed his \u201clifelong admiration and appreciation\u201d for veterans\u2019 \u201cservice and sacrifice\u201d.<\/p>\n

Prince Harry, who founded the Invictus Games for sick and wounded veterans, was said to have been devastated when he was stripped of the honorary military titles he held during his working royal life.<\/p>\n

Like his uncle, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, he is now prevented from wearing military uniform<\/a> at ceremonial events although both were permitted to do so during vigils for Elizabeth II at Westminster Hall in 2022.<\/p>\n

He has previously said that wearing his military uniform was among \u201cthe greatest honours there are in life\u201d and that Remembrance Day for him was a moment for \u201crespect and for hope\u201d.<\/p>\n

He first laid a wreath at the Cenotaph in 2009 at the age of 25.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
