King Charles, Prince William and Queen Camilla all joined crowds to mark the day the world

 remembers fallen heroes and veterans of World War II on Thursday, but there was one person noticeably missing – Prince Harry.

Katie Nicholl told The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show how it would’ve been a “hard” and “pretty stomach-clenching moment” 

for him to watch the two days of commemorations and know he wasn’t a part of it.

Speaking to The Sun’s Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson, the royal commentator explains 

that Harry’s fought in Afghanistan and is the only member of Royal Family to have fought on the front line twice, so on another parallel universe, he would’ve been there.

“Every time we cover the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday, if there’s anyone that’s earned the right to be there and to lay a wreath, it’s Prince Harry because he fought for his Queen and his country in Afghanistan twice,” she says.

“And I can only imagine, and we was talking about how happy is out in Montecito and I believe he is, he’ll be watching those D-Day commemorations.

“He was a soldier for a big part of his life as we know through the Invictus community and I think it’s a pretty stomach-clenching moment for him where it’s that realisation that despite what he did, he wasn’t a part of this because he’s not a part of the working class Royal Family.”

Matt goes on to note how the reality of Prince Harry being absent for the D-Day commemorations is simply the repercussions of him burning bridges with the royal family, to which Nicholls agrees.

“They are, they are,” she says.

“Currently, we don’t know whether he did anything in Montecito, but if he did, he didn’t do anything publicly.

“And you’ll remember that one Remembrance Sunday when him and Meghan were photographed laying a wreath and that backfired on them so badly.

“So I think they’ve learned from things like that so it must’ve been a hard moment for him to watch these two days of commemorations in Normandy and in Britain and know that just like being a solider, he wasn’t a part of it.”

Matt goes on to point out how Prince William made a surprise stop in Arromanches to meet veterans on the D-Day 80th anniversary.

The royal was visiting the D-Day museum, which wasn’t meant to be an event for the press of public, when several veterans of the Gloucestershire Regiment in the Army saw him go in and were keen to meet him, to which he happily obliged.

“I love that spontaneity about the Prince of Wales and I think we’ve both been on tours and visits when he’ll make a detour,” Nicholls explains.

“He’ll spot someone in the crowd or he’ll see a post and he’ll be drawn to it – and he’s not afraid to go off-piste when it comes to his schedule some times.”

The Prince of Wales paid tribute to the courageous D-Day heroes who ran into the “fury of battle” on Normandy beaches.

He laid a wreath and honoured 14,000 Canadians who stormed Juno Beach 80 years ago today.

Meanwhile, King Charles also made a powerful and emotional D-Day speech as he praised D-Day veterans at the UK’s commemoration event in Ver-sur-Mer, France, saying we “must stand together to oppose tyranny.

He added: “It is with the most profound sense of gratitude that we remember them and all who served at that critical time.”
