Veterans Day is observed annually in the United States on 11 November, the same time the UK observes Remembrance Day. Veterans Day is a federal holiday in America, honouring military veterans of the United States Armed Forces and dates back to the end of World War I.

As well as their emotional tribute, Harry and Meghan also honoured the meaningful occasion by closing their office, as stipulated in their out-of-office email response.

"In observation of Veteran’s Day and Remembrance Day, our office is closed Friday, November 11," reads the message.

The Remembrance Day military holiday is particularly close to Prince Harry's heart as he served as a Captain in the British Army. During his ten-year service, the Duke carried out two frontline tours of Afghanistan.

Last year, the duo made a special trip to honour Veteran's Day, to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst army base in New Jersey. During their visit, Meghan and Harry met with service members from all six branches of the military, and hosted a luncheon for service members and their spouses.
