Prince Harry's army career.

Prince Harry served in the Army for ten years, rising to the rank of Captain and undertaking two tours of Afghanistan.

Why then has he been stripped of the right to wear a military uniform at his grandfathers funeral?

Put simply because he's an r-sole. He should not even have been let back into the country.

Hi
Harry won his right by insisting that he went on the frontline.

This is not about him, it is about Andrew who insisted on wearing his full Admirals uniform even when he has had to step down from Public Duties.

Queenie has been very clever about this.

A wise move by her.
It would only have led to discourse if some were allowed to wear their uniform and others weren't.

How the reporters would have loved that.

I'm with you on this Carol, apparently both he and Andrew could have worn the uniform of the last rank they attained whilst in the forces, Harry as a Captain and Andrew as a Commander, but not the uniform of their ceremonial ranks, so I don't know why this wasn't allowed.

Having said that, if that wasn't to be allowed for some reason I think it shameful that the whole theme of the funeral in remembrance of such a military man should be sullied by kowtowing to such a pair of characters who have brought nothing but pain and shame to the whole Royal Family. Disbloodygraceful ..

I understand that nobody will be wearing military uniform but Prince Phillip's Naval cap will be placed on his coffin.
I think it is lovely that the funeral will be just like any other family man's farewell, quiet, dignified and all about a family member that they all cared about.

Despite rejecting life as a royal, Harry is still a close family member and I hope that they can find a way to get over any family differences. It will be a sad day for all & I expect it may bring back memories, for William & Harry, of their mothers funeral!

Don't know why they don't just cremate Phillip.

The spectre at the funeral .
No will want to talk to him in case their words next appear on Oprah .
