Prince Harry Announces Canada Trip, Overlapping with Prince William’s Biggest Royal Week in Brazil

Prince Harry Announces Canada Trip, Overlapping with Prince William’s Royal Week in Brazil

Prince Harry will travel to Canada for a series of Remembrance Day events, coinciding with Prince William’s busy Earthshot week in Brazil. The announcement came from the Duke of Sussex’s office, detailing plans for engagements in Toronto ahead of the commemorative day.

Remembrance Day, the British counterpart to Veterans Day in the United States, remains one of the monarchy’s most solemn traditions. Members of the royal family have honored it for generations, remembering the sacrifices of those who served in war.

Parallel Royal Schedules

At the same time, Prince William, the Prince of Wales, is in Rio de Janeiro for the fifth cycle of his Earthshot Prize. Founded in 2020, the initiative promotes innovative solutions to global environmental challenges. His trip, which began on November 3, includes a series of engagements culminating in the Earthshot Prize Awards Ceremony on November 5—the same day Harry will appear in Canada.

Planned Timing and Coordination

According to reports, the Duke of Sussex’s Canadian events were planned almost a year ago, and the schedule was determined by the charity hosting the commemoration rather than by Prince Harry himself.

“PEOPLE understands that 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.”
