Prince Harry is not wearing a military uniform at the funeral for his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, even though various members of the Royal Family are dressed in theirs - including his brother Prince William, the Prince of Wales.
Instead, the Duke of Sussex, who has seen active service in Afghanistan, is wearing a morning suit and medals at the historic state funeral. This is because only working royals are permitted to dress in uniform, so Harry is not allowed to wear it.
Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle stepped down from being working royals in January 2020, before moving from their home at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor to America.

Prince Andrew is also not permitted to wear a uniform during the Queen's funeral ceremony as he stepped down from public life after the furore over his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and later had his honorary titles stripped.
Prince Harry knew ahead of the funeral that he wouldn't be able to wear uniform and urged people to "focus" on the Queen's legacy during the emotional day.
A Sussex spokesperson said: "[Prince Harry] will wear a morning suit throughout events honouring his grandmother.
"His decade of military service is not determined by the uniform he wears and we respectfully ask that focus remain on the life and legacy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II", according to royal commentator and author Omid Scobie.
The Duke of Sussex was permitted to wear military uniform over the weekend as he and the seven other grandchildren of the Queen stood vigil around her coffin in Westminster Hall.
He was given permission by his father, King Charles III to wear uniform for the occasion after it was originally reported that he would wear a morning suit due to him no longer being a working royal.
However, there was one noticeable difference between his uniform and his brother's during the vigil - Harry's was missing the 'ER' symbol.
Prince Harry was reportedly 'heartbroken' over having to remove the symbol, as he stood alongside William and cousins Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.
After the initials were not removed from Prince William, a pal told The Sunday Times: "He is heartbroken. To remove his grandmother’s initials feels very intentional."
However, it does not appear to be an intentional snub - the initials are traditionally only worn by those 'in service' of the monarch.
As he kept vigil, Harry wore the uniform of the Blues and Royals complete with Golden, Diamond and Platinum Jubilee medals, Army Pilot Wings and the Afghanistan Operational Service Medal.
