The initials ‘ER’ are only worn by those ‘in the service’ of the monarch and Harry, after Megxit, renounced his royal duties.
However, Prince Andrew, who is also no longer royal and also wore a suit in the funeral procession, was allowed to wear both the vice-admiral’s uniform and the Queen’s insignia during the vigil for Elizabeth’s children on Friday night.
This fact upset Harry even more, according to a friendly source of the prince cited by the newspaper, adding that there may be some purpose behind this move.
