In the newly released image, the Duke appears wearing a black suit with a red poppy.
He is also wearing a distinctive yellow and black Scotty's scarf, which holds special significance.
The scarf's colours were specifically chosen to match those of the 2nd Royal Tank Regiment, where Corporal Lee 'Scotty' Scott served.

In his heartfelt letter, Harry addressed the profound impact of losing a parent at a young age.
"I understand, perhaps more than most, the weight of losing a parent at a young age. It can be overwhelming and isolating," the Duke wrote.
He emphasised how communities can provide healing, noting: "Yet, in the midst of that heartache, we find strength in the love and memories left behind."
The Duke encouraged members to reflect on values inherited from their loved ones.
"These will serve as your guiding light, helping you navigate the challenges ahead," he wrote, adding that they are "part of a larger community that stands with you."
