Prince William and Prince Harry reunited Sunday morning for the annual Remembrance Sunday service in London.
The brothers joined their father, Prince Charles, and uncle, Prince Andrew, in laying wreaths for the somber event at the Cenotaph on Whitehall. William and Harry, both of whom are veterans themselves, dressed in military uniform as they joined together to pay tribute to the servicemen and women who have fallen in the line of duty since World War I.
Remembrance Sunday is observed every year on the closest Sunday to Armistice Day, November 11, the anniversary of the end of WWI. This year's event marks an important milestone—the 100th anniversary since the first ever two-minute silence was observed on November 11, 1919.
William and Harry marched for Remembrance Sunday at The Cenotaph, a war memorial on Whitehall in London. The memorial was original erected as a temporary structure for a peace parade celebrating the end of World War I. The public's response to the memorial prompted the British government to replace it with a permanent structure in 1920.
The Remembrance Day events mark William and Harry's first public appearances together since July, when they took part in the King Power Royal Charity Polo Match in Wokingham, England.
The reunion follows months of speculation of a rift between the brothers, which Harry addressed during an interview for the documentary Harry & Meghan: An African Journey.
