Prince Harry Is ‘Heartbroken’ After The Queen’s Initials Are Stripped From His Military Uniform—So Sad!

Prince William wore the Blues and Royals, No.1 Uniform, The Garter Sash, The Garter Star, Golden, Diamond and Platinum Jubilee medals and RAF Pilot Wings, while Prince Harry wore the Blues and Royals, No.1 Uniform, KCVO Neck Order and Star, Afghanistan Operational Service Medal, Golden, Diamond and Platinum Jubilee medals and Army Pilot Wings. But according to The Sunday Times, there was a small but significant difference between his and his brother's uniform, as the Queen’s 'ER' initials were removed from the shoulder of the Duke of Sussex’s uniform. Ouch!

The shocking move from Buckingham Palace is reportedly due to him being stripped of his honorary military titles after he and Meghan Markle stepped down as working royals in January 2020, as the 'ER' initials are traditionally only worn by those who are "in service" of the monarch, which he technically now isn’t.

However, Prince Harry is said to be even more humiliated by the palace's decision to remove the initials, as his uncle Prince Andrew, who was stripped of his royal patronages and military affiliations earlier this year as a result of the sexual assault allegations made against him by Virginia Giuffre, still had the initials on his vice-admiral’s uniform that he was allowed to wear as a kind gesture from King Charles III during the vigil held by all four of the Queen's children on Friday, September 16th.

Some reports have suggested that Prince Andrew's initials weren’t removed from his uniform because the Queen allowed him to keep his honorary title of Vice Admiral (which is the equivalent to an Army Lieutenant General) after she stripped him of all of his other royal patronages and military affiliations.
