QUEEN ELIZABETH II will have to decide whether Prince Harry will be allowed to use the HRH title in the order of service for Prince Philip’s funeral
The Duke of Edinburgh passed away at Windsor Castle on Friday, April 9, 2021 and his funeral is set to take place on Saturday, April 17,2021.
Following news of his death, Prince Harry flew back to the United Kingdom, without his wife Meghan Markle, to attend the funeral.
When Harry and Meghan stepped down from their senior roles in the Royal Family, they gave up using their “HRH” titles.
It is believed he could be referred to simply as the “Duke of Sussex” for the service but it is up to the Queen to make the final decision.
According to reports, Harry who was stripped of his military titles will not be expected to wear his military uniform during the funeral.
Royal expert, Richard Fitzwilliams, said anything which would “distinguish” the brothers is likely to be avoided.
He said: “This is obviously very sensitive. Anything that distinguished the brothers in that way, which would be so obvious for anyone watching would probably be avoided. The whole thing we do not want is any form of rift.”
