Harry may choose to wear his medals at his grandfather's funeral
He wore his Queen's Golden Jubilee medal from 2002, his 2008 Afghanistan Operational Service medal and his Queen's Diamond Jubilee medal from 2012. The father-of-one served in the Army for ten years, undertaking two tours of Afghanistan.
It is custom only for members of the royal family who hold a military rank to wear military dress at state occasions, and this has been in place since the 19th century. Other members of the royal family wear standard mourning clothes at funerals.

On Monday afternoon, Harry released a statement sharing some wonderful memories of his grandfather.
"My grandfather was a man of service, honour and great humour. He was authentically himself, with a seriously sharp wit, and could hold the attention of any room due to his charm—and also because you never knew what he might say next.
"He will be remembered as the longest reigning consort to the Monarch, a decorated serviceman, a Prince and a Duke. But to me, like many of you who have lost a loved one or grandparent over the pain of this past year, he was my grandpa: master of the barbecue, legend of banter, and cheeky right 'til the end."
