Next week’s award ceremony for war heroes will see Prince Harry not allowed to wear military gear.
Harry was stripped of his role as Captain-General of the Royal Marines – handed down to him by his grandfather Prince Philip, as part of the final deal for him and Megan Markle, 40, to step back as front line royals.
At the gala, he will need to wear black tie. Harry can however pin his four medals to the suit.
Prior to February’s announcement of the final “Megxit”, deal, Prince Harry had stated that he hoped to keep his titles.
He is also said to have asked Queen Elizabeth about it in what was called a “half-in, half-out” role.
However, such a plan was vetoed and his title and role as Honorary air Commandant at RAF Honington in Suffolk and Commodore of Small Ships and Diving Royal Naval Command were retaken.
On the 10th of November, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex (37 years old) will travel to New York to attend Salute to Freedom. He will also present five medals.
Harry was a soldier for ten-years. His first stint was with the Household Cavalry (Blues and Royals), then he moved to the Army Air Corps, where he reached the rank of Captain. His service in Afghanistan was his most notable.
When he wed Meghan in 2018 at Windsor, he wore the Blues and Royals uniform.
It stated that the Salute to Freedom gala at Intrepid Museum honors brave servicemen and women and recognizes their extraordinary leadership.
The duke’s spokesperson declined to comment.
