Prince Harry Announces Trip to Canada for Remembrance Day
Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, is traveling to Toronto, Canada, to participate in Remembrance Day events. His visit coincides with Prince William’s prominent Earthshot Prize week in Brazil.
Details of Prince Harry’s Visit
On November 3, the Duke of Sussex's office confirmed that Prince Harry, 41, will attend a series of ceremonies in Canada to honor Remembrance Day. This day serves as the British equivalent of Veteran’s Day in the U.S. and has long been observed by members of the British royal family as a solemn remembrance.
Prince William’s Earthshot Prize Activities in Brazil
At the same time, Prince William, 43, is in Rio de Janeiro for the fifth cycle of his environmental prize. The Prince of Wales arrived on November 3 for a packed schedule of events culminating in the Earthshot Prize Awards Ceremony on November 5.
The Earthshot Prize, founded in 2020, aims to inspire innovative solutions for urgent environmental issues worldwide.
"The highlight will be the Earthshot Prize Awards Ceremony on Nov. 5, the same day Harry is scheduled to step out in Canada."
Scheduling and Planning
According to PEOPLE, the events Prince Harry will attend were planned nearly a year ago. The charity organizing the main event set the date, not Prince Harry himself.
