Why is Prince Harry not in a regal robe or military uniform at the coronation?

The King and Queen have arrived at Westminster Abbey for King Charles III’s coronation after leaving Buckingham Palace.

Members of the Royal Family, including Anne, Princess Royal, and Prince Edward, the recently anointed Duke of Edinburgh, took their seats before to their arrival.

While several royals were dressed in traditional regalia, Prince Harry was wearing a regular suit.

So, why is this?

Why isn’t Prince Harry wearing a military uniform today?

Prince Harry now wears civilian dress at official events – such as the morning suit he is wearing at today’s coronation.

It is tradition for working royals to wear military attire at relevant events – like what Prince Edward and Princess Anne were wearing.

However, The Duke of Sussex is no longer a working member of the Royal Family.

Harry and wife Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex famously left ‘The Firm’ in 2020 in a split dubbed ‘Megxit.’ They quit their duties as working royals and moved to California, followed by a series of public tiffs with the Royal Family, including allegations of racism made in the Oprah Winfrey interview and Harry’s bombshell memoir, Spare.

They no longer work on behalf of the monarch or hold royal patronages.

Harry is still allowed to wear medals he earned during his time in the military.

Prince Harry is there for his dad’s big day.

As seen on his suit today, Harry has an Afghanistan Service Medal and a Golden, Diamond and Platinum Jubilee medal.

He also wears the KCVO Star, representing the Royal Victorian Order, which recognises distinguished personal service to the monarch of the Commonwealth.
