Prince Harry earns royal nod after surprise appearance at Remembrance Parade
Prince Harry, who holds an emotional connection to the Remembrance Day despite exit from his royal role, surprised the public when he joined the Parade.
His humble appearance seemed to have won the hearts of the people as he quietly stepped into the crowd, without special treatment to pay his respects.
The day, which is marked across the UK, was led by King Charles at the Cenotaph.

Meanwhile, Harry had attended the commemoration in Brackley, which is on the Oxfordshire border.
The Duke of Sussex’s attendance was greatly appreciated as a representative of the Royal British Legion issued a statement.
“As Chairman of Brackley Royal British Legion, I wish to thank Prince Harry Duke of Sussex for attending our Remembrance Sunday Parade today,” he wrote on the official social media page.
“He made no formal announcement of attending, he didn’t request any special treatment
“He quietly stood on parade with his medals and paid respect. I personally thanked him for attending.”
They added, “Your Royal Highness it is an honour you attended our Parade.”
King Charles’s younger son, who served in the British armed forces between 2005 and 2015, wore his medals and a poppy for the sombre occasion. He has continued to show his dedication to the servicemen of his country even when he was living in the US.
The Duke also founded the Invictus Games in 2014, which is a sporting event for wounded, injured and sick military service personnel, both serving and veterans.
This was the first time in years when Harry was able to attend a service like this in the UK.
