Prince Harry to wear Army uniform as grandchildren hold vigil at Queen's coffin

The Duke of Sussex is set to wear his military uniform during a vigil held beside the Queen's coffin. Prince Harry, who saw action on the frontline during his two tours in Afghanistan, had decided to wear civilian dress as he publicly mourned his grandmother.

The former Army officer is no long a working royal. And wore his civilian clothing as he walked behind the Queen's coffin on Wednesday, as it made its way to Westminster Hall to lie in state.

But the Daily Mirror said Palace officials have had a change of heart, with a source saying “common sense has prevailed”. Harry will reportedly join his brother the Prince of Wales and cousins Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall in mounting a vigil around the Queen’s coffin on Saturday.
