Meghan Markle is joining her husband Prince Harry’s family in commemorating the UK's Remembrance Day in a surprising display of solidarity.
As the Royal Family — including King Charles, Prince William, and Princess Kate — attended Remembrance Day back in the UK, the Duchess of Sussex took to her Instagram on the evening of November 11, to pay her own tribute.
Using images of Prince Harry, she wrote, “As my husband says, ’Once served. Always serving.’”
“Thank you to all who served, sacrificed, and continue to serve,” she added, before concluding, “Honoring you on Veterans Day. And every day.” Notably, Meghan chose to write “Veterans Day,” which is the US equivalent of Remembrance Day.
Accompanying her message was a throwback video of Prince Harry from back when he was serving in Afghanistan. He was in the middle of a television interview when suddenly, he noticed his comrades running behind him. Wasting no time, Harry sprung into action and ran to his helicopter.
Meghan also shared a more recent picture of Prince Harry from his Canada visit, where he was seen talking to a veteran as he wore a red poppy in honour of Remembrance Day.
As Harry’s older brother Prince William recently explained in a video, “When we wear a red poppy, or take a moment of silence, we are saying, ‘Thank you, we have not forgotten, and we will not forget.’”
Meghan’s message comes amid massive backlash over her and Prince Harry’s attendance at Kris Jenner’s star-studded 70th birthday bash at Jeff Bezos’s Beverly Hills mansion on Saturday, a day before Remembrance Sunday.
One Palace insider even labelled the move as “tacky,” per Page Six.
