Prince Harry Announces Canada Trip for Remembrance Day
Prince Harry will travel to Toronto, Canada, to participate in Remembrance Day events. His visit coincides with Prince William's major Earthshot Prize activities in Brazil.
Details of the Trips
- Prince Harry, 41, is attending events ahead of Remembrance Day, which honors military service similar to Veteran's Day in the U.S.
- Prince William, 43, is in Rio de Janeiro for the fifth cycle of his Earthshot Prize, focused on environmental innovation.
- The Earthshot Prize Awards Ceremony takes place on November 5, the same day Prince Harry appears in Canada.
Background and Context
The Duke of Sussex’s office confirmed the Canada trip on November 3. The Remembrance Day events have long been commemorated by British royals, symbolizing respect for those who served in the military.
Prince William’s Earthshot Prize was established in 2020 to encourage global solutions for environmental challenges. His busy week in Brazil includes various activities tied to this prestigious award.
"The events the Duke of Sussex is attending were planned nearly a year ago, and the timing of the main event is established by the charity, not Prince Harry."
