Prince Harry Was Not Sat Near Price William On The Front Row Of The Queen's Funeral
They're also not wearing the same outfits.
Queen Elizabeth II's funeral is currently underway in London, and Prince Harry is not in the front row with his older brother and heir to the throne, Prince William.
The two princes were sat apart during the church service for their grandmother's funeral, highlighting the difference in their rank in the royal family, especially since Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, stepped down from their duties in 2020.
During the queen's funeral service at Westminster Abbey, Harry and Meghan were seated in the second row, behind other members of the royal family that are considered senior to him, including his older brother William.
Harry's family was seated in front of him in the front row during the service. This includes his dad, King Charles, the Queen Consort Camila, Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
Also seated in the front row are the rest of the queen's children, including Princess Anne and Prince Edward.
Harry's controversial uncle, the queen's younger son Prince Andrew, was also seated in the front row.
Harry and William weren't wearing the same uniforms for the funeral, either. William was wearing a military uniform, while Harry was in what's being described as a morning suit.
Both Harry and Andrew are no longer considered to be senior working royals, so they were not permitted to wear a military uniform during the service, as only working members of the family who hold military rank are allowed to do so.
The Duke of Sussex decided to step away from his royal duties back in 2020. Since then, he's been stripped of his military titles and has taken background roles in more recent royal events, including the queen's jubilee celebration, which took place earlier this year.
The young prince and his wife decided to step down from royal duties due in part to the heavy scrutiny Meghan faced in the British press. They announced their departure from the royal family via an Instagram post on their shared account.
Despite Harry and Markle not being in the front row during the state funeral service for the queen, watchers on Twitter have still been showing their support for the duke and duchess of Sussex, and their names have been trending globally.
"Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are the moment. It is all anyone cares about, really," wrote one user.
"Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Oprah interview seems to be proving right every day. The whole world has been watching," wrote another.
