Read our privacy policy Prince Harry wore his military medals pinned to his suit while walking in a procession behind his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin this week after it was announced he would be prohibited from wearing his military uniform. However, Prince Harry, who served 10 years in the army including two tours of Afghanistan, chose to wear his military medals pinned to his chest. Prince Harry and Prince Andrew were prohibited from wearing military uniforms as non-working royals This rule also meant that Prince Harry and Andrew bowed their heads while passing the Cenotaph, a war memorial on Whitehall, during the procession, rather than saluting like their family members in uniform. While Prince Harry will not be allowed to wear his military uniform as a result of his and Meghan Markle’s decision to step back from the royal family in March 2020, he noted in a tribute to his grandmother that greeting the late monarch for the first time as his “Commander-in-Chief” remains one of his fondest memories.
