Prince Harry did make a public appearance on Remembrance Sunday after all. According to the Daily Mail, he attended a small memorial service in Brackley, Northamptonshire, despite earlier expectations that he would keep a low profile that day.

Having served in the military for ten years, Harry attended the event wearing his medals and a red poppy. Meghan was not present. His appearance took place separately from the Royal Family's main national commemoration in London.

Prince Harry Attended a Small Memorial Service

In Brackley, Harry mingled with members of the public without attracting too much attention. One observer described the Duke's appearance to the Daily Mail: "He was stood there watching, and then afterwards he went into the market and started shaking everyone's hand".

It was also reported that Harry arrived before the other guests and watched the entire ceremony. His visit to the market town stood in contrast to the larger national commemoration taking place in the capital, where senior members of the Royal Family gathered.

King Charles Led the Ceremony at the Cenotaph

In London, King Charles III led the national two-minute silence at 11 a.m. at the Cenotaph in Whitehall. Following the silence, the King, Prince William, Princess Anne, and Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh, laid wreaths. Queen Camilla and Princess Kate watched the ceremony from a balcony overlooking the proceedings at the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.

Along Whitehall, crowds gathered behind barriers to witness the annual commemoration. Held on the second Sunday in November, Remembrance Sunday honors members of the British and Commonwealth armed forces who lost their lives in the two World Wars and subsequent conflicts, as well as civilian victims.

William and Kate Released a Joint Message

Prince William and Princess Kate also shared a joint message on Remembrance Sunday. In a social media post, they paid tribute to all those who have served or continue to serve in the armed forces, while remembering those who lost their lives in the line of duty.

For more than a century, the Cenotaph has served as the focal point of the UK's national remembrance commemorations. This year, senior members of the Royal Family once again gathered there for the traditional ceremony, while Prince Harry attended a separate event in Brackley.

Thousands of Veterans Marched Through Whitehall

Around 10,000 veterans took part in the march past the Cenotaph, representing approximately 340 military and civilian organizations, according to the BBC. Among the participants were 12 World War II veterans, including 103-year-old Annie Duplock, who served in the Women's Land Army during the war.

Remembrance events were also held in cities across the UK, including Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, and Edinburgh.
