Prince Harry will be “saddened” if he cannot wear his military uniform to Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, royal sources tell Page Six exclusively.
The Duke of Sussex was stripped of his military titles when he quit royal life in 2020 and moved to California with his wife, Meghan Markle.
The rest of the men in his family will wear full uniform to the monarch’s funeral at Westminster Abbey on Sept. 19 — all apart from disgraced Prince Andrew, we have confirmed.
However, Andrew — who was forced to quit public life after paying out millions of dollars to Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre — will be allowed to wear his military uniform on Monday while standing vigil for his mother at St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh, where members of the royal family, including King Charles III, will stand beside the coffin in a tradition known as the Vigil of the Princes.
None of the grandchildren will be standing vigil for the Queen, who died at age 96 last Thursday, we’re told.
One royal source said, “I’m sure Harry will be saddened not to wear his military uniform to the Queen’s funeral.”
None of the Queen’s children or grandkids wore their military uniforms at her husband Prince Philip’s funeral in April 2021.
The decision had been made to avoid any embarrassment that could overshadow the ceremony.
The break in tradition saw the men wearing morning coats and medals as they walked behind the Duke of Edinburgh’s coffin to the service that took place at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor, England.
The Queen’s children and grandchildren did not wear military uniforms at Prince Philip’s funeral.
