The Duke and Duchess of Sussex joined members of the Armed Forces to mark Armistice Day.

Harry and Meghan visited Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in New Jersey, to reflect on the day of commemoration in the UK and Veterans Day in the US and met with service members and their partners.

A spokesman for Archewell said former Army officer Harry and the duchess have “committed themselves to remembering, reflecting and honouring service members, veterans, and military families from around the world”.
