Why then has he been stripped of the right to wear a military uniform at his grandfathers funeral?
He did sign up to this, when he joined the army:-
"I... swear by Almighty God (do solemnly, and truly declare and affirm) that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Her Heirs and Successors, and that I will, as in duty bound, honestly and faithfully defend Her Majesty, Her Heirs and Successors, in Person, Crown and Dignity against all enemies, and will observe and obey all orders of Her Majesty, Her Heirs and Successors, and of the (admirals / generals/ air officers) and officers set over me. (So help me God.)"
Not sure if he has kept his promise!
If he hasn't, why would he be allowed to wear the uniform?
