The queen Elizabeth II decided: at the funeral of Prince Philip no male member of the royal family will wear the military uniform. A choice that breaks a centuries-old tradition: it had never happened before, as the Daily Mail. On the other hand, only with this decision could His Majesty avoid embarrassing the grandson Harry and the third child Andrew of York that at the funeral they would be the only males of the royal family without uniform. Because they have lost the right to wear it. For different reasons.
Harry after the farewell to the royal family was deprived of the military roles to which he was so attached, therefore he can no longer wear the uniform of the Blues and Royals which he also showed off at his wedding to Meghan Markle in May 2018. Andrea instead, involved in the scandal of billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, in 2019 he was “fired” from royal duties (and therefore also suspended from military posts).
The two, however, are the most fond of their uniform and the only ones in recent times to have really trodden the battlefield: Andrew at Falkland, Harry twice in Afghanistan. Andrea, however, unlike Harry, is still a royal senior. And for this very reason pleaded with his mother to allow him to wear anyway, at the funeral of father Filippo, the uniform of admiral of the Royal Navy.
If the queen had satisfied her son, the only male without a uniform, at her husband’s funeral, it would have been Harry. Which would have fueled the rumors of one unequal treatment between Meghan Markle’s husband and the rest of the Windsors. The last thing the Crown would need after thebomb interview with which the Sussex have torn apart the royal family. Now we must show the world a family (apparently) united. So the queen cut the bull’s head with a historic decision: at Philip’s funeral, everyone will wear civilian clothes.
