Good Morning Britain's Ben Shephard fears the Royal Family may have made their “first misstep” if Prince Harry is forbidden from wearing his military uniform at Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral.
Ben was discussing the issue on Tuesday’s edition of the ITV morning show after it has been claimed the Duke of York has been given “dispensation specifically for the funeral” whereas Prince Harry has been told he has to wear “civvies.” Andrew served in the Royal Navy and Harry served in the Army, completing two tours of Afghanistan, so under usual circumstances both would be expected to wear military uniforms for the monarch’s funeral.
However, both princes have stepped down from Royal duties and therefore are stripped of certain privileges, including being able to wear military uniforms for Her Majesty’s funeral. It has been said that an exception has been made for Andrew as “a mark of respect,” something the Good Morning Britain host fears may be a mistake in judgement.
