Overview
- Meghan Markle posted an Instagram montage on Veterans Day featuring a 2013 Afghanistan clip of Prince Harry ending an interview to respond to a security alarm, captioning it with his line, “Once served. Always serving.”
- Her post paired the archive footage with a recent photo of Harry meeting veterans at Toronto’s Sunnybrook Veterans Centre on November 6, where he wore a remembrance poppy.
- The tribute followed the couple’s appearances at Los Angeles events over Remembrance weekend, which prompted criticism of Meghan for not wearing a poppy.
- Former royal butler Grant Harrold told UK media he believes King Charles would approve of Meghan acknowledging Harry’s military service.
- Page Six cited an unnamed source saying Harry does not love social‑media displays, as commentators debated the post’s intent and noted Meghan has rarely marked the day online, with no formal palace comment reported.
