Still Waters Posted April 15, 2021 #76 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Why Harry and Wills won't be in uniform at Philip's funeral Prince Harry, Prince William and Prince Charles will not wear military uniforms at Prince Philip's funeral on Saturday due to a decision taken by the Queen, according to reports. Despite Harry and William both serving in the armed forces — including Harry's two tours of Afghanistan — it has been decided by the monarch that all senior royals will forgo military dress and instead wear civilian mourning suits for the service this weekend. The break with tradition comes after royals realised that the the Duke of Sussex would be the only senior family member not in uniform for the funeral, as a result of losing his military titles — including that of Captain General of the Royal Marines, a position formerly held by Prince Philip — after stepping down as a senior working royals last year. https://uk.style.yahoo.com/why-harry-wills-wont-uniform-110200616.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
