Prince Harry Announces Canada Trip Overlapping with Prince William’s Royal Week in Brazil
Prince Harry is traveling to Canada to take part in Remembrance Day events, which coincide with Prince William's busy Earthshot week in Brazil. The Duke of Sussex's office confirmed that Harry, 41, will be in Toronto for a series of commemorations ahead of Remembrance Day, a solemn day honoring veterans similar to the U.S. Veteran's Day. This observance has been a tradition within the British royal family for generations.
At the same time, Prince William, 43, is in Rio de Janeiro for the fifth cycle of the Earthshot Prize he established in 2020. The prize aims to inspire innovative solutions to global environmental challenges. William's week is filled with official activities, climaxing with the Earthshot Prize Awards Ceremony on November 5—the very day Harry is scheduled to appear in Canada.
"The events the Duke of Sussex is attending were planned nearly a year ago, and the timing of the main event is established by the charity, not Prince Harry."
Janine Henni, Royals Staff Writer for PEOPLE Digital, highlights that like Queen Elizabeth, Harry has a fondness for horses and memorable royal moments.
