Royal Family Ceremonial Uniforms

[fiveleaves]

Dont Prince Philip and Prince Charles usually wear their military ceremonial outfits at these Royal Weddings. Puzzled why they didnt yesterday

[tamborine]

Perhaps not to undermine the princes.

The twin page boys in mock military uniforms were perfection.

[HansUrbancka]

Perhaps they would have outranked the Majors William and Harry.

[follyfancier]

there was a choice of 3 options for gentlemen
military uniform
morning dress or lounge suit

[roopower]

They probably wanted to be comfortable, especially Prince Philip who had a hip replaced a few weeks ago.

Why does Prince Harry wear the uniform of the Blues and Royals when he served in the Army Air Corps?

Seems they can wear any uniform they like, even if they have never served in the armed services, Princess Anne for example.

Princess Anne is the Colonel-in Chief of both the Royal Signals and The Royal Scots.
