Duke of Sussex honours tradition and shares message of unity amid family tensions
Prince Harry offered a heartfelt gesture toward King Charles on Anzac Day, honouring a key royal tradition with a moving tribute through his Invictus Games Foundation.
Despite stepping back from royal duties, the Duke of Sussex showed his enduring respect for royal values, which some view as a positive step amid the ongoing family rift.
In a statement shared alongside photos of Invictus members from Australia and New Zealand, Harry’s team wrote:
"On Anzac Day, we remember Australians & New Zealanders who have served in war, conflict & peacekeeping operations around the world. We are grateful to have Australia and New Zealand as members of the Invictus Community of Nations as we heal together."
The tribute closely followed King Charles’ own Anzac Day message, where the monarch paid homage to the sacrifices of Australians and New Zealanders. King Charles also sent Duchess Sophie to lay a wreath at the Australian War Memorial in Hyde Park Corner, London.
Harry’s thoughtful recognition of Anzac Day traditions reflects a continued bond with the royal family’s values and offered a subtle but meaningful nod to his ailing father during a pivotal time.
