Prince Harry Dines with Veterans on His Tour of Canada

Prince Harry continued his visit to Canada with a gala evening dedicated to veterans, where he shared memories, humor, and admiration for the nation's armed forces. His appearance coincided with his wife's return to acting in Hollywood and his brother Prince William's trip to Brazil for the Earthshot Prize.

Visit Ahead of Remembrance Sunday

Harry arrived in Canada shortly before Remembrance Sunday, following the success of the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025 — the first winter edition of the event. He emphasized that his tour’s timing was not intended to overlap with Prince William’s Brazilian visit.

Evening with Veterans in Toronto

Dressed in a black tuxedo and wearing his service medals, the Duke of Sussex attended True Patriot Love's National Tribute Dinner in Toronto. Harry entered alongside veterans as bagpipes played, creating a ceremonious start to the event.

Speech and Personal Reflections

“I’ve always felt a strong connection to Canada’s military — from training in Alberta to serving with Canadian forces in Afghanistan,”

Prince Harry told the audience, adding humor by joking about his “ever-increasing bald spot.” The crowd responded warmly, appreciating the mix of sincerity and levity.

Moment of Apology

Harry also apologized in jest for the recent stir caused when he and Meghan wore LA Dodgers caps at the World Series rather than supporting Toronto's Blue Jays, teasingly acknowledging the friendly rivalry.

Author’s summary: Prince Harry honored Canadian veterans in Toronto with humor and heartfelt memories, reaffirming his enduring bond with the nation’s military and people.
