LONDON, Nov. 6 (UPI) -- Prince Harry will take on a new public role when he places a wreath honoring Britain's war dead on Remembrance Sunday, Buckingham Palace announced Friday.
The prince, younger son of Prince Charles, will be standing in for his father, who is on a visit to Canada, Sky News reported. That means Harry will take precedence during the ceremony at the Cenotaph in London over his older brother, Prince William.
Harry, a graduate of the British military academy at Sandhurst, serves in the Blues and Royals, where he is known as Lt. Wales. He served briefly in Afghanistan, returning home when his presence there became public.
"As a member of the armed forces he normally remembers the fallen with his regiment," a Palace spokesman said. "But with the Prince of Wales away Prince Harry will lay his father's wreath, complete with the feathers of the Prince of Wales, and a personal handwritten note."
Both of the princes are taking on a bigger role. The Palace announced earlier this week that William will represent his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, on a three-day trip to New Zealand and Australia.
