Following the death of HM Queen Elizabeth II, the entire country has gone into a mourning period which will be capped off by a historic funeral service taking place on Monday, September 19. Earlier this week, it was reported that Prince Harry would not be allowed to wear his military attire along with the rest of his family.
Now, we're taking a look at what the Queen's granddaughter's in law will be wearing to the Queen's funeral service.
As the only other non-working royal, Prince Andrew will not get to wear a military uniform except at HM's final vigil, as a sign of respect.
Sadly, Prince Harry was inexplicably not given the same exemption, which caused some massive backlash on Twitter.
"The honorary military appointments and Royal patronages held by The Duke and Duchess will therefore be returned to Her Majesty, before being redistributed among working members of The Royal Family," the palace said in a statement at the time.
While walking next to his family members in uniform, many fans felt touched by the powerful images captured and even went so far as to compare the Duke of Sussex to his mother, the late Princess Diana.
As reported by Page Six, both Kate and Meghan are expected to wear black veils to the ceremony Monday.
As Royal fans may know, Queen Victoria wore a veil for the rest of her life following the death of her beloved husband, Prince Albert.
“The tradition of mourning veils dates back several centuries, and has a basis in monastic dress,” Jessica explained, adding that the accessory “was often considered to be ‘armor’ and would shield their grief from the public.”
“The Princess of Wales’ veil at Westminster Hall was quite short and of black mesh, which does reflect the current practice of ‘muted’ veils, if worn at all,” the historian added.
