Prince Harry and Andrew have won the fight to wear their military uniforms for special vigils set to take place for the late Queen at Westminster Hall

Harry, who saw action on the front line during two tours of duty in Afghanistan, had been denied the chance to wear his military uniform as he publicly mourned due to him no longer being a working royal.

"It was a ludicrous situation given the Duke of Sussex has served his country and is a highly respected member of the armed forces with everything he has done for veterans," they told the paper. It will follow the final Vigil of the Princes on Friday evening, which will see the Queen's four children - King Charles, the Princess Royal, the Duke of York and the Earl of Wessex - surround their mother's coffin for the 15-minute ceremony.'You could hear a pin drop': Mourners reveal 'breathtaking' atmosphere after paying respects to the Queen at ParliamentPicture: Alamy

Absolute joke. That pair don’t deserve to wear it. They have no respect. They should have refused the chance. So disrespectful

So going against what the Queen had planned for her funeral, mmmmm, no honour there then eh!

Royals playing toy soldiers

Harry, Yes. Andrew, never!!! Even the Queen's death comes second to any legal judgment.

All about him again even when the queen has died

Harry should be allowed he shouldn't need to ask. But Andrew who has a liking in putting his hand down little girls pants shouldn't even be there he's an embarrassment to the memory of the Queen and to this country.

The vigil is for only 15 mins.

This is all a smoke screen. It’s such a ‘non story’. Have any proper journalists been keeping an eye on what the government are up to? What are they sneaking through parliament while to country has gone crackers?

It’s a bit odd that those who’d both seen actual action were told to not wear military medals. I love the Queen but what we’re left with is a bit shaky!!!

Why are you putting these 2 together. One asked to step away from the limelight, the other is a nonce.

NonceInMyName no uniform for the sweaty pedo

OMG, the ex military types on Twitter, those whom I will characterise as right wing, Tory Supporting, Brexshitting, Meghan hating racists, will explode. They have just spent a week explaining no ex military can wear a uniform as a deflection of their hating Meghan

Wrong to be putting these two in the same category

What both of them! I can understand Harry but the nonce is a different matter. I would have thought a scout masters uniform better.

Who are these palace officials that have so much power to determine who can wear what?

Prince Harry didn't fight wear military uniform and he doesn't need to,only the palace decision to denied him has backfired big time, hypocrites

Prince Harry deserves this more than anything. He's EARNED the right to wear that uniform.

To be clear one of these people has done absolutely nothing wrong.

Well played. Say Andrew can but Harry can't so the story is Harry can't but Andrew can FFS well played, us that is.

Served to protect a country who colonised other countries and stole their wealth?

Why do the normal citizen soldiers who come out the army get smaller medals compared to the huge medals of the royals?

Only Andrew deserve to wear it because he fought on front line in Falkland war

Wheres his Jim'l fix it Medal?

He needs to watch his sword and weapon

Reason Prince Harry and Prince Andrew did not salute during Queen's processionPrince Harry and Prince Andrew simply bowed their heads towards the Queen’s coffin, while other members of the Royal Family saluted the late monarch during the procession Because they aren’t wearing caps or berets. Check your military saluting / bowing protocol while not in uniform. This is what they are supposed to do. Media spreading bullshittery.
