"Today marks the 125th anniversary of the Royal Navy Submarine Service.

"For 125 years, submariners have operated in some of the most challenging environments, demonstrating professionalism, resilience and quiet dedication in service to their country.

"As Commodore-in-Chief, it was an honour to celebrate those who have supported the Service through history, and recognise the vital role submariners play in the defence of the United Kingdom."

The Duke of Sussex recently also expressed his love for the country in a video message at the NATO Military Committee.

Prince Harry confessed his true feelings about leaving military life and how it inspired him to start the Invictus Games.
