As ANZAC Day was observed, King Charles III delivered a heartfelt message to the people of Australia and New Zealand, honoring the bravery and sacrifice of servicemen and women.
The royal family's official social media accounts shared a statement on behalf of the King and senior royals, saying that ANZAC Day is a moment to remember the members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps who served and lost their lives in wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping missions.
The tribute was accompanied by a historic wartime photograph showing soldiers gathered inside a landing craft, along with the words, “ANZAC Day – Lest We Forget,” emphasizing the solemn importance of the occasion.
The emotional message came shortly after Prince Harry reaffirmed his enduring connection to the royal family, despite the widely reported tensions between him and the monarchy.
During an interview in Ukraine with a UK broadcaster, Harry stated that he would “always be part of the royal family,” highlighting that he remains committed to serving in meaningful ways. He also expressed that the work he is doing now aligns with the sense of purpose he has always felt.
Although Prince Harry and Meghan are no longer considered “working royals” — a term used for senior members who perform official duties on behalf of the monarchy — Harry suggested that his dedication to public service remains unchanged.
After leaving royal life in 2020, Harry and Meghan relocated to the United States, where they now live with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, while building a more independent future away from the royal spotlight.
