What uniform is Edward wearing there?
Can he wear it every time or it's just a one-time kind of thing?
As far as I know he didn't finish his military service but it could be an honorary appointment.

Thanks in advance

HRH is wearing the uniform of Royal Honorary Colonel Royal Wessex Yeomanry an appointment he was given in 2003.

Yes all royals and non-royals can wear honorary military appointed uniforms at state events and where it says on the invitation. e.g wedding and funerals and royal garden parties etc.

All ranks have to ask permission to wear their dress uniforms at weddings, funerals etc, except higher ranking officers and of course the royals.
I can't think of any non royals who have been given honorary military ranks and would therefore be entitled to wear a military uniform.

However, as Harry is not in the mounted regiment, he will not be seen, (unless he transfers), in a ceremonial uniform, for some time.
It is only the mounted troop that wears the helmet with the plume.

He will be in an ordinary 'No. 1 dress' uniform, not Mounted Troop Ceremonial uniform.
Tailored Jacket and Trousers.
Blue cap with scarlet band & piping.
Red Lanyard.
Reddish Tie with Navy stripe.
If he is at the Trooping of the Colour parade.

So now Harry we can say is a 2nd Lt in The Blues and Royals

RoyalistRiley · #74 05-30-2009, 10:30 PM

I think Princess Anne wears a military unitofrm because she is Gold Stick in Waiting ( a ceromonial bodyguard to the Queen) and Colonel of the Blues and Royals
