Prince Harry absent from Remembrance Sunday ceremony draws criticism from supporters
Supporters of the Duke of Sussex expressed disappointment that he did not attend the national Remembrance Sunday service alongside the King and other working royals.
Prince Harry was not present at the Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, where King Charles led the national tribute. Some supporters argued that his military background and previous participation in the ceremony warranted his inclusion.
One commentator noted that Invictus Games medallist JJ Chalmers took part in the parade and said, "Prince Harry should be there. He’s earned it." Another user described his absence as "a disgrace."
A further remark highlighted the presence of Invictus veteran Steve Arnold, who was interviewed after the wreath-laying, and added that Harry’s non-attendance was a "crime."
Harry served in the armed forces for ten years, completing two tours in Afghanistan and has long advocated for wounded service personnel. After stepping back from official duties and losing his honorary military titles, he no longer participates in state ceremonies with the King and the Prince of Wales.
