Harry and Meghan remember fallen heroes on Armistice Day

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex joined members of the armed forces in New Jersey in the United States to mark Remembrance Day on Thursday (November 11).

Harry and Meghan visited Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst - home to more than 46,000 members of the armed forces and their families - to pay their respects on the day of commemoration in the UK and Veterans Day in America.

The pair met with service members and their partners.

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

The couple attended the Intrepid Museum’s gala, honouring serving members and their families, before heading to the Joint Base McGuire’s-Dix-Lakehurst, which is the Department of Defence’s only tri-service base.

The duke and duchess hosted a formal lunch with service members from all six branches of the military.

The spokesman added: "Throughout their visit, they discuss mental health, the value of community and living a life of service."
