Meghan Markle and Prince Harry to commemorate Anzac Day
The Royal couple will attend a dawn service in central London to remember the soldiers from the two countries who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the First World War and subsequent conflicts.
Anzac Day - April 25 - marks the anniversary of the start of the First World War Gallipoli landings, and is a national day of remembrance for Australia and New Zealand.
Journalist Phillip, F. E. Schuler noted in 1916: “ANZAC! In April—a name unformed, undetermined; June—and the worth of a Nation and Dominion proved by the five letters—bound together, by the young army’s leader, Lieut.-General Sir W. Birdwood, in the inspired “Anzac”—Australian, New Zealand Army Corps.”
Later in the day, the Prince and Ms Markle will join a Westminster Abbey congregation for a service of commemoration and thanksgiving.
