‘Lots of Charm’: Prince Harry Wins over Toronto’s Century-Old War Heroes

On Thursday, Nov. 6, 2025, Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex visited Sunnybrook Hospital's veterans centre in Toronto, meeting some of Canada's oldest veterans.
Invited by the True Patriot Love Foundation, Prince Harry's visit formed part of a two-day Toronto trip supporting Canadian veterans ahead of Remembrance Day.
At the centre's art studio, Prince Harry helped paint red poppies on an army helmet with 101-year-old former pilot Jim LaForce and met 97-year-old Richard Ratcliff, who tufted more than 50 rugs, as veterans presented woodworking and art-therapy pieces.
He thanked residents and presented each with medallion keepsakes during his two-day Toronto visit, calling the stop a highlight and urging reflection ahead of Remembrance Day.
The centre, which supports more than 300 veterans, is the largest of its kind in Canada and integrates residents' storytelling and art programs into daily care for Second World War and Korean War veterans.
