Speaking earlier today (Tuesday, November 24) on Lorraine, Daily Mirror royal editor Russell Myers said that Harry would be “yearning” for the moment he is able to take on appointments with the military.

“That is under a 12-month review. And I think that Harry will be yearning for that, he will be wishing that that is reinstated.

Duke of Sussex should be able to ‘make his contribution’

“So him and Meghan went to the LA veterans cemetery.”

This is where his heart lies and I think that’s what he wants to do more of.

Russell continued: “He can’t do right for wrong at the moment, and I do feel very, very sorry for him. This is where his heart lies and I think that’s what he wants to do more of.”
