The palace rejected his request for a wreath to be laid at the national memorial in London on Sunday during an event that honors those who have been killed and wounded in war.
The somber event is an important one for the royal family, and this was the first year Harry, a war veteran himself, was not able to participate.
A source told People magazine that Harry, who is no longer a frontline royal following his "Megxit" with wife Meghan Markle in March, was "saddened and disappointed," that a wreath designated for him by event organizers was kept aside in a factory in Kent.

He "understands that he doesn’t have the same formal role in the family as he used to, but he was saddened and disappointed by the decision," the source revealed.
The snub is just the latest in a string of disappointments for the son of Charles and Diana--many of which have been documented in the biography "Finding Freedom"--but it certainly cuts deeper as Prince Harry has been vocal about how much his time in the military and his fallen comrades mean to him.
Prince Harry recently revealed on the Declassified podcast that he wears a poppy in tribute to, "The soldiers I knew, as well as those I didn't. The soldiers who were by my side in Afghanistan, those who had their lives changed forever, and those that didn't come home."

Despite his request, and the official organizers creating a display for him on Remembrance Sunday, palace officials decided that he couldn’t participate in the same way as he and Meghan Markle are no longer working members. According to reports, The Queen was not consulted on this decision.
The couple held their own private memorial ceremony at a Los Angeles cemetery that day, placing flowers from the garden of their Santa Barbara, California home at the gravesites of two soldiers who fought for Commonwealth armed forces, as well as a wreath at an obelisk in the cemetery inscribed with, "In Memory of the Men Who Offered Their Lives in Defense of Their Country."

"The military was a part of his upbringing and his life. He brought a lot to those guys and understood things. It is sad," the source described. Indeed!
