Prince Harry Announces Canada Trip Overlapping with Prince William’s Royal Week in Brazil
Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, will travel to Toronto, Canada, for a series of events marking Remembrance Day. His visit coincides with Prince William’s high-profile Earthshot Week in Brazil.
According to the Duke’s office, the 41-year-old royal will attend several remembrance ceremonies in early November. In the United Kingdom, Remembrance Day serves as the equivalent of Veterans Day in the United States — a solemn observance honoring those who served in the armed forces. The British royal family has taken part in these commemorations for generations.
At the same time, Prince William, 43, is in Rio de Janeiro leading the fifth cycle of the Earthshot Prize. The prize, which he established in 2020, rewards innovative solutions addressing global environmental challenges.
The highlight of William’s visit is the Earthshot Prize Awards Ceremony on November 5, coinciding with Harry’s scheduled appearance in Canada.
“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.”
