Harry enjoys a favor for the Queen’s funeral

State funeral, public holiday on September 19, presence of high dignitaries and processions… All eyes are riveted on the United Kingdom on the occasion of the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, whosehe death was announced on September 8. If many Britons make the trip to meditate in front of the queen’s coffin which is currently on display in Westminster Hall, the royal family is coming together to be more united than ever despite the strong tensions observed in recent months.

Indeed, for this funeral, there is no question of dissociating … The brothers William and Harry were among the first to put their differences aside. The Prince and Princess of Wales also invited the Sussexes for a public appearance – a real walkabout – last Saturday, as a sign of reconciliation.

Since then, tributes have multiplied before the ceremonies on Monday, September 19, which will be the high point of this funeral with the presence of a hundred dignitaries in London and a television broadcast around the world. The remains of Elizabeth II will be buried in the King George VI Chapel at Windsor Castle after a final procession. Again, William and Harry may well walk side-by-side, as they agreed to do this week to welcome the queen’s coffin to London at Westminster Hall, after a long journey from Balmoral Castle (Scotland) where she died. And this time, Harry could wear the uniform.

The prince served in the army for several years

A detail which is very important since the prince had been refused his request given that he and his wife Meghan Markle were stripped of their titles after leaving their functions within the royal family to join America in 2020. Which had undoubtedly been experienced as a humiliation for one who served for several years… Captain of the British Army, Harry had taken part in the war in Afghanistan and was Army Air Corps helicopter pilot for five years, until 2015. During a moving speech delivered on Monday, Harry had also recalled that he had put himself at the service of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.

Finally, Prince Harry will be able to put on the uniform from Saturday, September 17, tells us The Mirror. “Common sense prevailed. The situation was ridiculousgiven that the Duke of Sussex served his country and that he is a highly respected member of the armed forces with all he has done for veterans.” reports a source to the British media, recalling that only Buckingham Palace officials are able to issue this authorization.

It must be said that many Britons are offended by the first decision. To meet expectations, we changed the tune. “It’s just a mark of respect for the Duke’s grandmother, who wouldn’t have wanted it any other way”and “It’s important that the Queen’s grandchildren are all welcomed and comfortable as they mourn their beloved grandmother together” other sources report. Remember that Prince Harry was not the only one to have been refused. This other member of the royal family is her uncle Prince Andrewbecause of the accusations of sexual assault which weigh on him.
