King Charles gives Prince Harry another chance to make amends with his royal relatives

King Charles used his power and gave his son another opportunity to make amends with his royal relatives as he allowed Prince Harry to wear military uniform for the historic royal vigil at the Queen's coffin on Saturday.

Harry, who was stripped of his military titles last year, fought back his emotions as he was given special permission by  King Charles. 

The Duke of Sussex, who served 10 years in the British Army, was not allowed to wear a military uniform as he walked behind the Queen's coffin in procession from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall on Wednesday (14 September) for her lying in state.

Harry could not control his emotions and broke down in tears to have such an honour from his father.

However, at King Charles's request, Prince Harry wore military uniform, for the first time since 2020.

The King's sons William and Harry were joined by Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall, the children of Princess Anne, as well as Prince Andrew's daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, and Lady Louise Windsor and James, Viscount Severn, who are Prince Edward's children.

It is the first time in history that the grandchildren of a monarch have taken part in the ceremony.

Having quit royal duties he's no longer allowed to wear his military uniform to royal events, such as Prince Philip's funeral. The palace also declined a request to lay a wreath on his behalf at The Cenotaph monument in London, in November 2021, on Remembrance Sunday, Britain's Memorial Day.

However, Archie and Lilibet's father Harry - who is a war veteran  - has been honoured by King Charles and Prince William this time.
