Prince Harry will not wear his military uniform at the state funeral for his grandmother Queen Elizabeth on Monday, nor at the events leading up to it.

“Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex will wear a morning suit throughout events honouring his grandmother,” a spokesperson for the duke confirmed to HuffPost in a written statement on Tuesday.

“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,” the spokesperson said.

Prince Andrew, who like Prince Harry is no longer a senior working member of the royal family ― albeit for very different reasons ― is also expected to wear a morning suit for his mother’s funeral engagements.

However, a special exception has been made for Andrew to wear his military uniform for the queen’s final vigil, according to People magazine.
