He spoke with quiet humility about those years, but I know how deeply he respected all who stood beside him in that theatre of war.

“Today, as I think of him, I think also of each of you, of the shared hardships, the bonds forged, and the legacy you leave.
I am humbled by your example, proud of your service and dedication, and profoundly grateful for what you endured. Your story is part of our shared heritage, and it must never be forgotten. With the deepest respect, thank you.”

Looking Ahead: Family Gatherings on the Horizon

Harry could soon be reunited with senior members of the Royal Family, including the King, Prince William, and Princess Catherine, at the wedding of his cousin Peter Phillips, Princess Anne’s son. Phillips is preparing to marry for a second time, with a date expected in the spring.

The Duke of Sussex is also keen to have his family present at the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham, when the event returns to the UK for the first time since its launch in London.
