Prince Harry will not wear military uniform during the events honouring the Queen in the build up to her funeral next week.

A statement issued on behalf of the Duke of Sussex, who saw action on the front line during two tours of duty in Afghanistan, confirmed he would be in civilian dress.

Only working royals are being permitted to dress in uniform at five ceremonial occasions. Harry and Prince Andrew have been barred as they are not.

These are the St Giles’ Cathedral service in Edinburgh, which took place on Monday, and the coffin’s procession to Westminster Hall, the vigil at the lying in state, the funeral in Westminster Abbey and the committal service in Windsor.

It is likely to be a bitter blow for ex-solder Harry, who is proud of his decade in the forces, and who was saddened after being stripped of his honorary military roles including Captain General of the Royal Marines by the Queen post-Megxit.

The statement confirmed he will be wearing a morning suit during the events.

It adds: ‘His decade of military service is not determined by the uniform he wears and we respectfully ask that focus remain on the life and legacy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.’

On Monday, Harry wrote of his special memories of when the Queen attended his passing out parade in 2006 when he became an officer in the British Army.

He told of his ‘first meeting’ with his Granny as ‘my Commander-in-Chief’ – and was believed to be referring to the occasion when the late monarch made him grin and blush while she reviewed the cadets.
