Prince Harry Issues Meaningful Statement as Royal Family Presents United Front
Prince Harry has broken his silence with a powerful statement marking both Veterans Day and Remembrance Day.
This is the Duke of Sussex’s first statement since Kate Middleton joined King Charles and Prince William on Remembrance Day, while Queen Camilla was notably absent.
In his statement, Harry expressed: “My fellow veterans, as we mark both Veterans Day and Remembrance Day, I reaffirm my lifelong admiration and appreciation for the service and sacrifice you and your families have made, both in times of conflict and peace."
The Duke continued, emphasizing the significance of their contributions: “You have played a vital role in defending the values of liberty, freedom, and security."
Paying tribute to the fallen, Harry acknowledged their sacrifices, stating: “These values bind us together and have shaped you as leaders and role models."
The father of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet also stressed the importance of unity, saying: “At a time of global uncertainty, remember the unity and purpose that defined your service, and do not hesitate to put that into action in your communities."
Harry added: “That same spirit should guide all of us in facing today’s challenges. Your example and morality show that true power lies in our ability to unite and confront the obstacles before us."
As the statement concluded, Harry extended his gratitude, saying: “As you continue to serve—making valued contributions to communities, colleagues, households, and all those we love—my hope is that our communities will continue to serve your needs too.”
He ended with a heartfelt tribute: “To all those who have served—past and present—I offer my deepest respect and thanks. Your service has made a lasting, positive impact on our communities, our nations, and our shared future. I am honoured to stand with you.”
Harry’s message comes shortly after senior members of the royal family gathered in London for Remembrance Sunday, honouring Britain’s fallen servicemen and women.
The Duke’s statement also coincides with the royal family’s tribute to Queen Camilla, with King Charles sharing a clip from her new documentary.
