An expert has shared why Prince Harry was left out by King Charles and the royal family on Remembrance Sunday. Observed every year on the second Sunday of November, it fell on November 8, 2026. The ceremony honors the service and sacrifice of all who defended freedom in both World Wars and later conflicts.
Expert claims Prince Harry was snubbed for a reason
A royal expert believes that Prince Harry’s exclusion was deliberate. The statement came after the Duke of Sussex’s appearance at a Remembrance Sunday service in the market town of Brackley. He was seen among the crowds, away from King Charles, Prince William and the family.
While Harry marked the day at a local service, the royal family attended the main national ceremony. The monarch led them at the Cenotaph in Whitehall for the National Service of Remembrance, per The News International.
The Palace shared glimpses from the ceremony on the royal family’s official Instagram page. The caption read, “In commemoration of all those who have died in World Wars and other conflicts, The Royal Family stood united with others in thousands of similar ceremonies across the UK and worldwide to hold two minutes of silence at 11 a.m. The tribute closed with the words, ‘Lest We Forget.’”
Yet, talk of Prince Harry being snubbed from the family event refused to die down. The comments section soon filled with followers raising the same point. One wrote, “This Family is not able to reconsiliate, poor Harry.” Another echoed, “But you forgot the son who served.”
Meanwhile, supporters chimed in to praise the event, with one saying, “Lovely, dignified, regal tribute. Nobody does it better.” Another chimed in with, “Glory to King Charles III King of Great Britain.”
Dickie Arbiter, former Palace press secretary, has shared his take on the reported exclusion of the 42-year-old. He explained, “That is a national event. It is for working royals to lead the country. He is not a working royal. And therefore, that is not an option, and he can forget about that.”
