Harry, who had served in the military for over ten years, nevertheless wanted to lay a wreath. Courtiers turned down the request because he no longer represents the monarchy. Queen Elizabeth would not have been informed of her grandson’s wish.
Disappointed
Harry is reportedly deeply disappointed by the decision, the clearest sign yet that ties with the court have been cut.

Much of the rest of the royal family was present at Remembrance Day on Sunday. Prince Charles, Prince William, Prince Edward and Princess Anne, among others, laid the wreaths this year. Queen Elizabeth watched from the balcony, as has been the custom in recent years.
Poppies everywhere
Traditionally, the wreaths consist of poppies (poppies) made of plastic. Since 1922, the poppy has been the symbol of the veterans’ organization, the Royal British Legion.
This organization sells poppies made of paper or plastic (which you can see in abundance on clothing) in memory of the fallen. The proceeds from the sale support war victims or their relatives.
