PRINCE HARRY AND THE PROBLEM WITH HIS WEDDING UNIFORM THAT NOW LOOKS LIKE AN AUGURATION
The unofficial biography of the Dukes of Sussex reveals some unknown details of their wedding at Windsor Castle.
Everything that happens at a wedding tends to be interpreted as an omen of the luck that the newlyweds will run during their marriage, and it certainly seems significant that on his day with Meghan Markle Prince Harry did not feel comfortable in his pants of his uniform. This is what journalists Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durant say in Finding Freedom, the biography about the Dukes of Sussex that both the couple and their close environment helped to write.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had just said yes to each other in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle when, while riding in his carriage, the groom noticed that his suit was just right. "Sitting in the carriage next to the bride, Harry joked that his pants were too tight," write the couple's biographers in the chapter on the wedding, held on May 19, 2018.
The incident would be nothing more than an anecdote if the suit, made in one of the tailor shops on Saville Road, were not the uniform of the Blues and Royals, a cavalry regiment of the British army headed by Queen Elizabeth II and al that the Duke of Sussex joined in 2006 as a Second Lieutenant.
That was the first step that Harry climbed in his military career, according to himself, the only consolation he found during his turbulent youth. Thanks to his service as captain of the Blues and Royals in Afghanistan, Harry surpassed the fame of wayward that he had earned with sprees like the one he ran in Las Vegas, and although in 2015 he was forced to leave the army, he continued engaging with his peers as a promoter of the Invictus Games, an initiative to support veterans and war wounded.
According to rumors coming from Los Angeles, his military life is precisely what the Duke of Sussex misses most since he and Meghan Markle decided to leave the British royal house earlier this year and Queen Elizabeth II retired to his grandson his military honors. Prince Harry thereafter lost the right to wear his uniforms as Captain General of the Royal Marines - a position in which he has been relieved by his aunt, Princess Anne -, Honorary Commander of the RAF, or Commodore Chief of the Navy. , although, paradoxically, he will be able to wear the one of his wedding, since the rank of captain of the Blues and Royals reached him on his own merits and not because of his status as a member of the British royal family.
That, and only that. A pity that it is too fair.
