PRINCE Andrew has been BANNED from wearing a military uniform at the Queen’s funeral, it is understood.
The Duke of York is instead expected to wear a morning suit, as he did for Prince Philip’s funeral.
All other working royals will wear their military attire for Her Majesty’s state funeral on September 19, it was confirmed today.
A palace source said: “As a non-working member of the Royal Family, the Duke of York will not wear uniform except as a special mark of respect for Her Majesty the Queen at the final vigil in Westminster Hall.”
Andrew wore a morning suit and tie for his father’s funeral last year – after the Queen reportedly stopped him wearing an Admiral’s uniform.
It was reported at the time the duke had told the Queen he wished to wear the prestigious uniform for the event – despite deferring the title after the Jeffrey Epstein sex scandal.
But there was said to be “serious Navy displeasure” at the prospect of Andrew wearing an Admiral’s uniform for the occasion.
