PRINCE Harry and Andrew have been blocked from wearing military uniforms during the Queen’s coffin procession.
The pair will be led by King Charles III on foot for the emotional journey from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall on Wednesday.

Prince Harry will also have to wear a suit after being barred from military attire
The new monarch will be joined by Andrew, Princess Anne, Prince Edward, Prince William, Prince Harry, Peter Phillips, vice-admiral Sir Tim Laurence, the Duke of Gloucester, and the Earl of Snowdon.
Meghan Markle, Kate Middleton, Sophie Wessex and the Queen Consort will travel behind in a car.
But while leading royals will wear military attire, Harry and Andrew have been barred from doing so.
The Duke of Sussex has been told he cannot wear a military outfit throughout events honouring his grandmother the Queen.

Andrew, however, has been given the green light to wear military attire as “special mark of respect” for his late mother when he stands guard around her coffin during the Vigil of the Princes this week.
Harry has hit out at his uniform ban, with his spokesman insisting his “decade of military service is not determined by the uniform he wears”.
They confirmed he will instead wear a morning suit throughout events honouring his grandmother the Queen.
The spokesman said: “Prince Harry will wear a morning suit throughout events honouring his grandmother.
“His decade of military service is not determined by the uniform he wears and we respectfully ask that focus remain on the life and legacy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.”
Only working royals can dress in uniform at ceremonial occasions to mourn the Queen, meaning Prince Andrew has also had to wear a suit.
He stood out yesterday when he was the only one among his siblings not in uniform as they walked behind their mother’s coffin in Edinburgh.
But the Duke of York has been allowed to wear his uniform when he stands guard of the Queen’s coffin in Westminster Hall.
The exception was made as a “special mark of respect” for the Queen, who died on Thursday at the age of 96 at Balmoral.
He is expected to join siblings King Charles, Princess Anne and Prince Edward for the traditional Vigil of the Princes.
They also performed the ceremony last night at St Giles Cathedral and Prince Andrew was in a suit.
The Queen’s coffin will be taken to Westminster Hall on Wednesday afternoon, where a short service will be held, led by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Royals will then depart by car as members of the public begin filing into the hall from 5pm.
Thousands are expected to queue to see the Queen lying in state before it closes at 6.30am on Monday, the day of the funeral.
The Queen arrived at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday night for the final time after her coffin was flown back from Scotland on an RAF jet.
Princess Anne accompanied her late mother on the emotional journey back to the Palace, where members of the family have gathered to meet them.
Mourners lined the streets to pay their respects to Her Majesty as the coffin travelled through the capital, with many weeping and throwing flowers to the hearse.
