This is so wicked on so many levels.
Prince Harry Moves Past Royal Rift With New York Military Awards
Prince Harry will present awards to service members past and present in New York in a new
U.S. military charm offensive on the eve of Veterans Day.
The Duke of Sussex will be the star guest at Intrepid Museum's inaugural Intrepid Valor Awards on Wednesday, November 10.
The 2021 Salute to Freedom Gala comes a day before Veterans Day in the U.S., known as Armistice Day in the U.K., and four days before the
Royal Family will gather in London for Remembrance Sunday.
Harry was last year
locked in a trans-Atlantic briefing war with the palace over commemorating the country's war dead.
The duke asked for a wreath to be laid on his behalf at The Cenotaph when Britain stopped to remember its fallen last November, but his request was
declined on the basis he had quit royal duties.
Harry and Meghan were instead left making a personal visit to Los Angeles National Cemetery with their own photographer in tow.
The duke's star turn at the Salute to Freedom Gala ensures he has a formal and high profile function in service of the military community during the period when Britain and America pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
It is not yet clear whether he will try to also make it to Britain for Remembrance Sunday on November 14, particularly since New York is on the way to London from California.
However, this is not the first sign of a
Prince Harry charm offensive with the U.S. military after an appearance for U.S. veterans earlier this month.
The duke
joined a video call for competitors in the Warrior Games, whose Olympic-style tournament for wounded service personnel was canceled due to COVID.
He appeared alongside
Jill ***** and said: "To see every single one of you here, with the pride on your faces, makes me incredibly happy to know how far you guys have come, the dark places that you have been to but where you are now stronger than ever before, no doubt, and that is partly if not mainly down to sport."

Thank you @EverSoElusive for your #8 nickname, Marklenator. Pray tell how did you coin this nickname. Perchance is it Markle + Detonator = Marklenator? In any case, it's now on The List.
