Children supported by a West Norfolk military charity has had a letter from Prince Harry, ahead of Remembrance weekend.
The Duke of Sussex shared the message with the young members of Scotty’s Little Soldiers, a charity for bereaved British Forces children.
The Duke has been involved with the charity since 2017 and was invited to be its first-ever Global Ambassador.
In his letter, the Duke writes: "Know that I am thinking of you and hoping for your Remembrance weekend to be filled with comfort, support, and shared understanding with your fellow Scotty's members.
"This is an incredibly important and emotional time of year, when so many come together to pay their respects to your military parents and our military family, for their service and for their sacrifice."
Nikki Scott, Founder of Scotty’s Little Soldiers, said: “We are really excited Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex is joining Scotty's as a Global Ambassador."
"He's supported Scotty's for a number of years and having been bereaved as a child himself and having served in the British Armed Forces, including deploying to Afghanistan, Prince Harry resonates with our members.
"They know he truly understands them and the challenges they face as bereaved military children.
"The Duke is also able to use his profile to help raise awareness of the charity, meaning that we can reach and support more children and young people who have experienced the death of a parent who served in the British Armed Forces.”
