As the world watched Queen Elizabeth II's funeral on Monday, the ongoing conversation throughout the mourning season also fixated itself on wether Prince Harry, Prince Andrew, would be able to to wear their military uniform to the State Funeral on Monday at Westminster Abbey.
King Charles III, and eldest son, Prince William, were both seen in their uniforms.
Harry gave up his honorary military titles in 2020 when he and his wife, Meghan Markle, stepped down as senior members of the royal family.

Prince Andrew was stripped of his royal duties and military titles following his controversial relationship with convicted sex abuser Jeffrey Epstein, and wore his morning suit despite earlier reports that he would be allowed to wear his military uniform as a 'mark of respect' for his mother.
There had been questions about whether children would attend the service considering their age but the attendance of Prince William's oldest two was confirmed in an order of service on Sunday.
Prince George, 9, is the second in line to the throne after his father Prince William, while Princess Charlotte,7, is third in line.
As well as the royal family, the funeral is being attended by hundreds of dignitaries from across the globe, including all of the Queen's former prime ministers, US President Joe Biden and French President Macron.
