Prince Harry’s future attendance at the UK’s Remembrance Service is ‘”conceivable” so long as he he follows one key rule, journalist Lee Cohen has claimed.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex did not return to the UK for Armistice Day, despite Harry having served in the Air Force and the Army Corps.
However, royal commentator Cohen said we cannot rule out the possibility of Harry making an appearance at the Cenotaph in the future.
He told GBN America: “He stepped down in 2020. He gave up his honorary military titles and the right to wear a uniform.

“It’s conceivable he could still appear but just not in uniform.”
The journalist did add, that although it could happen, an appearance from the Duke is “very unlikely.”

He said: “However, as you and I both know, the tension that Harry and his wife created with other members of the Royal Family make his future presence at events like this very unlikely.”
Harry and Meghan stepped down from their positions as working royals in January 2020.
They went on to unleash a slew of attacks on royal life, in the form of interviews and Harry’s book Spare.
Despite missing the service Harry did release a statement to honour his fellow veterans on Monday.

He said: “My Fellow Veterans, as we mark both Veterans Day and Remembrance Day, I reaffirm my lifelong admiration and appreciation for the service and sacrifice you and your families have made both in times of conflict and peace.
“You have played a vital role in defending the values of liberty, freedom, and security.
“These values bind us together and have shaped you as leaders and role models.”
Harry added: “At a time of global uncertainty, remember the unity and purpose that defined your service, and do not hesitate to put that into action in your communities.

“That same spirit should guide all of us in facing today’s challenges.
“Your example and morality demonstrate that true power lies in our ability to unite and confront the obstacles before us. As you continue to serve – making valued contributions to communities, colleagues, households and all those we love – my hope is that our communities will continue to serve your needs too.”
The duke concluded: “To all those who have served— past and present—I offer my deepest respect and thanks.
“Your service has made a lasting, positive impact for our communities, our nations, and our shared future. I am honoured to stand with you.”
