Marine Ben Reddy was just 22 when he was killed as his unit came under fire during an operation in Helmand Province in 2007.

The royals were joined by the late soldier’s family, including his father who has worked as a gardener at Windsor Castle for many years — with Harry wearing his Marines tie.

Their appearance with the Queen will be seen as a sign of solidarity and a clear public statement that she continues to see them as close family members.

It came a week after Harry and Her Maj had a heart-to-heart lunch, during which she assured her grandson he and his wife “would always be welcomed back” in the future.

A source said: “It was a very moving moment, and a poignant service — and the royals met the family of the soldier afterwards to offer their support.

It’s also quite a personal connection, as Ben Reddy’s father worked for The Queen at Windsor and Prince Philip attended his funeral at the time in his capacity as the previous Captain General.

“Obviously Prince Harry is standing down from his official roles, including with the Royal Marines, but he was keen to be involved with this.”

Another attendee added: “The family were very pleased the royals were there, and the whole occasion was extremely respectful all round.

“It was good of them to come and obviously with Harry’s background it was nice for him to attend as he went to Helmand just after Ben was killed.”

On Saturday, Harry and Meghan attended the Mountbatten Festival of Music at the Royal Albert Hall, where he wore his medals awarded from two tours of Afghanistan.

The couple were greeted by an ovation as they entered the royal box.
