The Royal Family reunited for an important annual event, which Prince Harry continues to commemorate even after he left his senior royal position.
The Duke of Sussex, who holds a personal connection to armed forces and service, had penned an emotional letter reaching out to military families who have lost loved ones.
It had come ahead of one of the most solemn weekends on the royal calendar. However, the royals may have delivered a brutal reality check to Harry, noting that he would not be part of the main event.

The Prince and Princess of Wales had joined King Charles and Queen Camilla, along with other senior members of the family for a sombre occasion.
The royals paid tribute to the British service personnel at London’s Royal Albert Hall to all those who lost their lives in service, on the eve of Remembrance Sunday.
“A moving evening at the Royal Albert Hall for this year’s Festival of Remembrance,” the message read.
At the end of last year, when Harry was still based in the US, sources had insisted that something that he misses the most about his royal life is being part of Remembrance day.
Addressed to members of Scotty’s, a military bereavement charity that Harry holds close to his heart, the former veteran had shared his own experience to relate to the grief one feels.
“When I was in the British Army, knowing someone had your back meant everything. I recognise that same spirit at Scotty’s, where the people around you will understand without you having to explain. They just get it, and that alone brings comfort and relief.”
