Prince Harry 'refused permission' to lay Remembrance Sunday at Cenotaph

Prince Harry has been left 'saddened' after he was 'refused permission' to lay Remembrance Sunday at Cenotaph.

Harry had pleaded with Buckingham Palace to pay his respects but was rejected as he no longer represents the monarchy, reports The Times.

The Queen was reportedly not told about her grandson's request.
