Since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved to America, they have always done something stateside to mark Veterans Day, or the UK\u2019s Remembrance Day. It was made clear to Harry that the Windsors would shut down every effort Harry made to honor British veterans from America, including the Windsors refusing to lay Harry\u2019s wreath at the Cenotaph in 2020. Last year, King Charles even had Harry\u2019s Remembrance wreath removed from The Poppy Factory\u2019s exhibit, that\u2019s how much the royal family despises and disrespects veterans. <\/p>\n
In years past, we\u2019ve only learned about the Sussexes\u2019 Remembrance activities after the fact. I\u2019m glad they did something ahead of Veterans Day and Remembrance this year! Meghan and Harry were in San Diego on Wednesday for two events. During the day, they visited Camp Pendleton and spent time with military families. Then in the evening, they helped open up a new facility for Navy Seals and veterans.<\/p>\n
\nMeghan Markle and Prince Harry are preparing for Veterans Day. On Wednesday, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex\u2019s organization Archewell shared news that the two \u201cspent the morning with veteran and active duty service members and their loved ones at Camp Pendleton in San Diego, California.\u201d<\/p>\n
During their visit to San Diego, Meghan, 42, and Harry, 39, stopped by Operation Bigs \u2014 a first-of-its-kind mentoring program dedicated to children of military families, including active duty, veteran, and Gold Star families. Those who attended ahead of Veterans Day, which falls on Saturday, discussed how the mentorship offered through Operation Bigs has supported their goals and ambitions, as well as the community\u2019s.<\/p>\n
According to the Archewell website, the program was founded in 2004, and it helps to connect \u201cyoung people and families to mentors who can relate to the shared experiences and challenges faced by having a parent or parents in the military when they are on deployment and after they have returned.\u201d Since its launch, Operation Bigs has helped more than 3,000 children of Navy and Marine Corps members and has expanded to over 30 affiliates throughout the nation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019m including videos of the opening, plus photos taken by the photographer Matt Sayles, who is an industry photographer often hired by Archewell to get exclusive snaps. Something I enjoy is the fact that the American military and veteran communities have embraced Harry so much, to the point where he\u2019s seen as some kind of in-house royal star at their events. Fashion notes for Meghan: her navy cardigan at Camp Pendleton was Carolina Herrera (and it\u2019s already sold out) and her suit at the facility opening was Armani.<\/p>\n
