PRINCE Harry is not expected to wear his military uniform at the Queen's funeral.
It's likely the Duke of Sussex, who quit royal life back in 2020, will wear a morning suit instead – as he did for Prince Philip's funeral last year.
Only working royals will parade in military attire when Her Majesty is laid to rest September 19.
And Harry was stripped of his military titles last year, with the Queen expressing her sadness at the time.
Prince Andrew has already been banned from wearing a uniform for the historic event next week, after he was stripped of his military titles and royal patronages.
Sources say the same restrictions will apply to Harry – who is also no longer a working royal.

The King, the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal and the Earl of Wessex will parade in military uniform at five events in total over the coming days as the nation mourns their beloved Queen.
These include the Service of Thanksgiving at St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh today, the Procession to Westminster Hall and service of prayer and reflection as well as the Vigil at Westminster Hall.
They will also wear uniform for the State Funeral Service at Westminster Abbey as well as the Committal Service at St George’s Chapel Windsor.
