With their baby due, his name was not printed in the programme in case he was unable to do so.” Prince Harry’s surprise appearance was alongside the Duchess of Cambridge, a.k.a. Kate Middleton, at Westminster Abbey at the memorial service designed to honor citizens of Australia and New Zealand who died in military conflict or peacekeeping operations, particularly those killed during the Anzac landings in Gallipoli during World War I, [per the Royal Family](https://twitter.com/RoyalFamily/status/1121326639835693056). (Anzac stands for the Australia and New Zealand Army Corps.) This year’s service also [marked the anniversary](https://www.awm.gov.au/commemoration/anzac-day/traditions) of the “first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War.” > [](https://twitter.com/KensingtonRoyal/status/1121396479468478464) Prince Harry and Duchess Kate attended the event together, because [Meghan Markle](http://time.com/money/5284019/meghan-markle-tiara-queen-mary/) could be too close to her [due date](http://time.com/5502228/meghan-markle-baby-due-date/) to attend and Prince William is currently in New Zealand paying tribute to the victims of the Christchurch mosque shootings. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5577305/prince-harry-and-kate-middleton-anzac-day/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5577305/prince-harry-and-kate-middleton-anzac-day/"},"headline":"Prince Harry Just Made a Surprise Appearance With Kate Middleton","datePublished":"2019-04-25T15:41:10.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:58:45.794Z","description":"The royals appeared at Anzac Day services at Westminster Abbey","url":"https://time.com/5577305/prince-harry-and-kate-middleton-anzac-day/","keywords":["Newsfeed","kate middleton","Prince Harry","british royal family","meghan markle"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd39112cd3dbd69f4/6989490bdb2987fcb12623bf/princeharrykatemiddleton.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd39112cd3dbd69f4/6989490bdb2987fcb12623bf/princeharrykatemiddleton.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Duchess Of Cambridge Attends ANZAC Day Service","caption":"Duchess Of Cambridge Attends ANZAC Day Service","creditText":"Samir Hussein—Samir Hussein/WireImage","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5577305/prince-harry-and-kate-middleton-anzac-day/","name":"Prince Harry Just Made a Surprise Appearance With Kate Middleton"}}]}] ```
