Prince Harry made a faux pas on Remembrance Day.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex joined the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the other members of the royal family for the annual Remembrance Day service. However, the duke made a major blunder that made the public thought that he was not wearing a poppy.

“I realise it’s a personal choice but I couldn’t see Prince Harry wearing a Poppy. Prince Edward had one on his hat but I couldn’t see Harry with one. Did I miss it? Given his military service I am surprised if he didn’t have one on,” Dan Jones wrote on Twitter.

“Can someone explain what the reason may be behind Prince Harry not wearing a poppy?” another netizen asked.

However, royal fans were wrong to think that Meghan Markle’s husband was not wearing a poppy during the service. They just missed it because it turned out that Prince Harry placed his poppy on his hat. Prince Harry pinned the red poppy on the red outline of his hat and since the two had the same color, it camouflaged.

Wearing a poppy on Remembrance Day is significant, which explains the netizens’ reaction after failing to spot Prince Harry’s poppy. According to the BBC, this is a symbol to remember those who died in conflicts around the world and those who have been killed due to terrorism. There’s a particular reason why poppies are worn for the event when there are many flowers.

“Why do we wear poppies? The reason poppies are used to remember those who have given their lives in battle is because they are the flowers which grew on the battlefields after World War One ended. This is described in the famous World War One poem In Flanders Fields,” the news outlet explained.

Meanwhile, according to body language expert Judi James, Prince Harry and Prince William were under pressure ahead of their Remembrance Day reunion. She believed that the royal brothers should communicate because if they didn’t appear chatty, it would prompt further speculations about their alleged rift.
