Did Prince Harry Use William and Kate’s Absence to Make a Point?
Prince Harry recently honored his late grandfather, Prince Philip, and the Forgotten Army on the 80th anniversary of VJ Day (Victory over Japan Day). He wrote a heartfelt letter and left a wreath at the Burma Star Memorial—a tribute to veterans of World War II. The letter read:
