The Duke could honour troops through Invictus as he is not expected to join working royals at the Cenotaph
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are settling into life in the UK as private individuals and non-working royals, in line with the agreement reached when they stepped back from royal duties in 2020.
That distinction is expected to be particularly apparent this November, when the Royal Family gathers for Remembrance Sunday.
Before moving to California, Prince Harry regularly joined senior royals at the National Service of Remembrance at London’s Cenotaph. The occasion holds deep personal significance for the Duke, who spent 10 years in the British Armed Forces and served two tours in Afghanistan.
Although he now lives closer to his relatives, Harry is not expected to rejoin working members of the Royal Family at the annual ceremony.
Sources close to the Sussexes suggest the couple accept the arrangement. One friend of Harry told The Times that he will “do whatever they want him to do”.
Harry could instead mark Remembrance Sunday, which falls on November 8 this year, through one of the military charities or organisations with which he remains closely involved.
One possibility is the Invictus Games, the international sporting event he founded in 2014 for wounded, injured and sick service personnel.
