The Duke of Sussex will be donning his military uniform on Saturday in honour of his late grandmother. The Queen, who passed away last week at the age of 96, will be honoured in a vigil led by her grandchildren tomorrow as she lies in state at Westminster Hall.
The Queen's eight grandchildren, including Prince Harry and his brother, the Prince of Wales, will silently stand beside Her Majesty's coffin for 15 minutes as a mark of respect. For the occasion, Harry has been given special permission to wear his military colours, The Mirror reports.
Palace officials granted Harry permission to don his military colours after his uncle Prince Andrew was given permission to do the same ahead of a vigil today, which will be attended by the late Queen's four children. This move attracted great controversy as, like Harry, he is no longer a working member of the Royal Family; this is the occasion on which Andrew has been allowed to wear his military uniform following his mother's death.
