Royal fans noticed some differences between Prince Harry and Prince William's uniforms as the two brothers stood vigil around their late grandmother, the Queen on Saturday.
The Duke of Sussex has been granted permission by his father, King Charles to don his military uniform for the important moment, as he previously wore a morning suit during the formal period of mourning.
But royal watchers noticed that while the Prince of Wales' uniform included the late monarch's initials "ER" on the shoulder of his uniform, as well as his hat, Prince Harry's did not.
The reason for the discrepancy between the two brothers' uniforms is unclear, however, the same difference was noticeable during Prince Harry's wedding to Meghan Markle in 2018 during which the brother donned his military uniforms. In a photo from the wedding day, the initials are clearly visible on William's uniform, while Harry's is not.
The initials aren't the only difference between the brother's uniforms. William wore Blues and Royals, No.1 Uniform, with Garter Belt, Garter Star and Gold, Diamond and Platinum Jubilee Medals alongside RAF pilot's wings.
Harry also wore a No. 1 Blues and Royals uniform, but sported the KCVO Order and Neck Star, the Afghanistan Operational Service Medal, the Gold, Diamond and Platinum Jubilee Medals and army pilot wings. Harry's plan to change clothes was done without his involvement, HELLO! understand.
Prince William and Prince Harry were joined at the emotional event by their cousins, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, Pierre Phillips, Zara Tindal, Dame Louise Windsor and James, Viscount Severn. The spouses were not present at the wake.
The Queen's grandchildren were deep in thought as they guarded Her Majesty's coffin as she lay in state at Westminster Hall ahead of Monday's state funeral.
The Prince of Wales stood at the head of the coffin and the Duke of Sussex stood at the foot. William was flanked by his cousins Zara Tindall and Peter Philips; while Harry was flanked by Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.
