Queen Elizabeth cancels participation in Remembrance Sunday

Queen Elizabeth, 95, will not attend the Remembrance Sunday service this Sunday and will therefore not lay a wreath. “The Queen, who sprained her back, decided this morning with great regret that she would not be able to attend the memorial service at the cenotaph today. Her Majesty is disappointed that she will miss the service,” Buckingham Palace announced.
Despite health problems in recent weeks and a stay in hospital, the monarch has firmly resolved to take part in the day to commemorate the fallen of the wars. Your cancellation comes as a surprise and probably increases the British concern for their queen.

Prince Harry + Duchess Meghan: Tight program in New York
Prince Harry, 37, and Duchess Meghan, 40, have big plans for their stay in New York. After both of them were featured in various online discussions on November 9, 2021, they both attended the “Salute to Freedom Gala” in the “New York Intrepid Museum” on November 10. With a glamorous red robe by Carolina Herrera, the Duchess of Sussex drew everyone’s attention that evening and even made her Harry a sweet declaration of love on the red carpet.
But anyone who thought Harry and Meghan would fly back to Montecito after this gala evening was wrong. On November 11, the couple surprised a military base in New Jersey and set up lunch for service members and their spouses at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. These included topics such as mental health and the importance of the community. It is still uncertain whether Meghan and Harry flew back home after this appointment.

Prince Harry: This appearance is a humiliation for the ex-soldier
His appearance as the guest of honor at the Salute to Freedom Gala in New York on November 10, 2021 will be a heavy burden for Prince Harry, 37, to be. As a consequence of the Megxit, the royal was not allowed to wear a military uniform at the funeral service of his grandfather Prince Philip, † 99. His male relatives also attended the funeral in plain clothes out of solidarity. But now the youngest son of Prince Charles, 74, will award medals to war veterans on a warship – and appear in a simple suit. However, he is expected to wear at least the four distinctions he earned during his time with the British Armed Forces.
