Prince Harry Wanted A Wreath Laid On His Behalf For Remembrance Day, But Royals Shut It Down

Prince Harry remains committed to the military, even if he can’t show it in the ways he used to.

Sunday marked Remembrance Day in the UK. The solemn holiday that celebrates fallen members of the military is one the royal family always honors. Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were among those who attended a scaled-down ceremony at the Cenotaph.

Though Harry couldn’t be in the UK for the holiday, he wanted his respect to be known. He placed a personal request to Buckingham Palace for a wreath to be laid on his behalf. Because of his new life away from the senior royal family, that request was denied, The Sunday Times reports.

Harry found his own way to mark the day. He and Meghan Markle laid flowers and a wreath at the Los Angeles National Cemetery on Sunday. They laid them at the gravesites of two commonwealth soldiers, one who had served in the Royal Australian Air Force and one from the Royal Canadian Artillery.
