On Remembrance Sunday, Prince Harry surprised bereaved children marching past the Cenotaph in London with sweets. The event, organized by Scotty's Little Soldiers, supports bereaved military children and young people who have lost parents in service. Lexie Pallet, a 16-year-old participant whose father died by suicide in 2020, shared her pride in honoring him while marching. Prince Harry, a Global Ambassador for the charity, wrote a letter reminding children that they are part of a supportive community. He emphasized the importance of resilience in the wake of loss, underscoring that children can make their loved ones proud. The charity, founded by Army widow Nikki Scott, has supported over 700 military children this year alone and aims to expand its outreach. However, funding challenges have hindered the charity's ability to host some events, including a planned winter festival for 2024.
