Prince Harry arranged for a secret tribute to his late grandfather, Prince Philip, during the 80th anniversary of VJ Day commemorations. The Duke of Sussex had a friend place a wreath of red poppies and a personal letter at the Burma Star Memorial in Staffordshire on August 15, 2025.
The tribute was left at the National Memorial Arboretum after King Charles and Queen Camilla had departed from the official service. Harry’s gesture was timed to avoid being distracted from the formal commemorations that honored 33 veterans aged between 96 to 105 who served in the Far East and Pacific during World War II.
