Page Six has confirmed that Prince Harry will be dressed in his
military uniform when he attends a special vigil for Queen Elizabeth II on
September 17, 2022.  

According to Page Six, Prince Harry, who was originally denied
permission to wear military uniforms, has now been granted that privilege. 

The Queen’s eight grandchildren, including Harry and his brother
Prince William, will stand in silence for a 15-minute vigil alongside her
coffin on Saturday evening.

Royal officials are said to have actively managed the confusion
after it was revealed that his disgraced uncle Prince Andrew, who is no longer
a working royal, had been given special authorization to wear his uniform at a
vigil over the Queen’s coffin attended by her four children on September 16,
despite being barred from doing so at previous ceremonial events.

“Common sense has prevailed,” a royal source said,
according to the Mirror. “It was a ridiculous situation given that the
Duke of Sussex has served his country and is a highly respected member of the
armed forces for all he has done for veterans. It is important that the Queen’s
grandchildren all feel welcome and at ease as they grieve their beloved grandmother
together.”

Other grandchildren of the Queen, including Princesses Beatrice
and Eugenie, Zara and Peter Philips, and Lady Louise and James, Viscount
Severn, are expected to join the guard of honour tomorrow evening.

Harry, who served in the British army for a decade, which include
two tours in Afghanistan, was at the centre of a controversy this week over
whether he would be permitted to wear his Blues and Royals uniform.

He was abruptly stripped of his cherished military assignments and
barred from wearing his army uniforms in public after leaving his princely role
in 2020.

In a statement issued through his spokesperson on September 13,
Prince Harry addressed the law that forbade him from wearing his military
uniform.

He affirmed he would be wearing a morning suit and asked that the
“focus remains on Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s life and legacy.”
