The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Duke and Duchess of Sussex will join together to remember all those who have lost their lives in conflict.

The foursome will join the Queen and other senior members of the family at the annual Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance.

It will be the first time the younger royals have appeared as a group since Harry and Meghan admitted they are struggling with public life in an emotional TV interview.

It will also be the first time the brothers have been on a joint engagement after Prince Harry addressed reports of a rift and admitted they were on ‘different paths.’

BGUK_1762400 - ** RIGHTS: WORLDWIDE EXCEPT IN UNITED STATES ** Los Angeles, CA - American fans tune in to watch Harry and Meghan: An African documentary as interviewer Tom Bradby tells GMA he found them 'bruised and vulnerable' while filming the documentary. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, made headline-making comments on everything from motherhood to mental health, grief and media scrutiny in the new documentary which aired in the UK before the US.. The couple's comments and their candidness about their lives behind the scenes have since sparked a debate about what should be expected of them, both in their royal duties and in what they reveal publicly. ITV News at Ten anchor Tom Bradby, who interviewed the couple, said on Good Morning America: "I think some of what Harry and Meghan were doing here was just emotional, it was just saying well this is where we???re at, and some of it was trying to do things differently,I???d seen them obviously before we left and had a pretty long chat and so I formed a certain view there. And I speak to Harry relatively often and have done over the years so, as I said, I knew that things weren???t entirely brilliant behind the scenes, but it sort of built as the tour went on really. If this documentary has an outcome, I do hope that it???s that everyone, perhaps including them, takes a really deep breath and maybe thinks really hard about how the future may play out." Meghan garnered sympathy with US fans and praise on social media after she acknowledged her struggle both as a new mom and one under a constant spotlight. "I would say, look any women especially when they???re pregnant, you???re really vulnerable so that was made really challenging and when you have a newborn, you know, yeah, you know, and especially as a woman it???s really, it???s a lot," she said. "So you add this on top of just trying to be a new mom or a newlywed it???s um, yeah, well, I guess, and also thank you for asking because not many people have asked if I???m OK." Meghan also opened up about how she 'had no idea' the depth of the scrutiny she would face after becoming Harry's wife. US fans were also delighted that the couple showed off new son Archie several times in the documentary including during a visit to Archbishop Desmond Tutu. *BACKGRID DOES NOT CLAIM ANY COPYRIGHT OR LICENSE IN THE ATTACHED MATERIAL.

The ITV interview with the Sussexes was a marked departure of the royal family’s traditional stoicism with Meghan appearing on the verge of tears.

Talking about press scrutiny, the former actress said: ‘Any woman, especially when they’re pregnant, you’re really vulnerable.

‘So that was made really challenging and then when you have a newborn – especially as a woman, it’s really, it’s a lot.

‘So you add this on top of just trying to be a new mum or trying to be a newlywed.’

She also thanked interviewer Tom Bradby for asking how she is coping, saying: ‘Not many people have asked if I’m OK.’

Prince Harry also opened up about the ‘festering’ grief he still feels over his mother’s death and how he is haunted by memories of her relationship with the press.

The ITV interview came after months of scrutiny about the relationship between William and Harry after they split their households.

Harry admitted they have ‘good days’ and ‘bad days’ but added: ‘We are brothers. We will always be brothers.

‘We are certainly on different paths at the moment but I will always be there for him as I know he will always be there for me.

‘We don’t see each other as much as we used to because we are so busy but I love him dearly.

‘The majority of the stuff is created out of nothing but as brothers, you know, you have good days, you have bad days.’

After the interview, William was said to have expressed concern that Harry and Meghan were ‘in a fragile place’ while Kate has reportedly phoned to check on her sister-in-law.
