Overview

  • After King Charles and Queen Camilla left the 80th anniversary VJ Day service on August 15, Prince Harry asked a friend to discreetly place a letter and wreath at the Burma Star Memorial
  • The note, signed “Harry” and marked with his royal cypher, honoured his late grandfather’s Pacific campaign service and humility
  • Addressed to the “Forgotten Army,” the letter praised Far East veterans’ courage and endurance and thanked them for ensuring future generations’ freedom
  • GB News obtained and published photographs of the tribute, which multiple national outlets have since reproduced from handout material
  • Some commentators view the gesture as a potential olive branch toward the royal household, but Buckingham Palace has not commented on Harry’s intentions
