Prince Harry: This appearance is a humiliation for the ex-soldier
His appearance as a guest of honor at the Salute to Freedom Gala in New York on November 10, 2021, will be a heavy burden for Prince Harry, 37, to be. As a consequence of the Megxit, the royal was not allowed to wear a military uniform at the funeral service of his grandfather Prince Philip, † 99.

Harry served in the military for ten years and was on two missions abroad in Afghanistan. He lost all honorary military posts in February 2021 after reaffirming his final retirement as Senior Royal to Queen Elizabeth, 95. According to Buckingham Palace, the monarch had told her grandson that “it is not possible to continue the responsibilities and duties associated with a life in public service by withdrawing from the work of the royal family”.
