Prince Andrew and Prince Harry have banned greetings during the Queen’s coffin procession ElizabethToday, other members of the royal family, including King Charles III, Prince William and Princess Anne, made the gesture, according to the British newspaper “Daily Mail”.
Daily Mail report–
Members of the royal family greeted as they walked through the memorial in Whitehall this afternoon on their way from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall, where the Queen will remain in the state until her funeral next Monday..
But Andrew and Harry ducked their heads near the National War Memorial because they couldn’t wear military uniforms, because neither of them now work in the royal family..
During the royal salute–
Nor were they greeted – unlike other members of the royal family – when Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin, adorned with the royal banner and imperial crown, arrived in Westminster shortly afterwards during the procession..
It comes after Andrew, Duke of York, was banned from wearing his military uniform and saying goodbye to his mother earlier this week at St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh on Monday afternoon for the same reason..
The decision to ban Harry and Andrew from wearing a military uniform at the events following the Queen’s death at Balmoral last Thursday is a reminder of how involved the two are now in the royal family..
Prince Harry spent 10 years in the military but was stripped of his honorary military titles in 2020 after he and wife Meghan Markle announced they would step down as senior royals and move overseas.
