Prince Harry is supposed to take over the awards of war heroes at a gala. Not an easy task for the veteran, because he has to forego a great privilege.
New York City – The 37-year-old Duke of Sussex will be attending the Salute to Freedom Gala on November 10 on a warship converted into a museum in New York, taking on the honorable task of presenting five medals. Although he has completed two missions with the army in Afghanistan, he is expected in the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in a suit and tie in the Big Apple.
A sad moment for Prince Harry, who is not allowed to wear his military uniform on this occasion, reveals 24royal.de *.
Much has changed for them since Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan’s (40) decision to retire as active senior royals *. For the Duke of Sussex, the separation from the crown also meant giving up his military honorary titles. A painful step for the son of Prince Charles * (72), especially since his military services in the field are undisputed. But Harry was withdrawn from his role as captain general of the Royal Marines, which his grandfather Prince Philip * (99, † 2021) had inherited.
He also had to resign from his posts as honorary air commander of the RAF Honington in Suffolk and as commander in chief in the royal navy. Instead of wearing a smart uniform, Prince Harry * will probably wear a suit at the festivities. He can pin his earned four medals on his lapel.
Prince Harry spent ten years of his young life in the army, first with the Household Cavalry (Blues and Royals) and later with the Army Air Corps, where he rose to the rank of captain. He wore his Blues and Royals uniform when he married his current wife Meghan in Windsor in 2018. * 24royal.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA
