Glad that his mother’s side of the family will be there. Also aren’t all the royals fully vaccinated? Including Harry from us?
All we know is that the Queen, Charles and Camilla have been vaccinated and presumably the rest over 50s. William and Catherine's age group haven't come up yet so they, and the other younger royals probably haven't been.
The UK is only starting to vaccinated those over 40 this week - the 40-45 group started on Monday with their first jab.
I don't know how the US is doing the roll-out but if they are already vaccinated those in their 30s he may have been vaccinated - at least with one dose.
In the U.S only people over 65 and those at high risk are being vaccinated at the moment. Although every state is a bit different.
Actually there many states where people in their 30's are all perfectly elegible to get the vaccine right now. My state, Connecticut, being one of them.

[...] it is essentially a family funeral with the landrover procession being the only military component and if Prince Philip hadn't been involved with the Landrover I don't think there would have been even that. The world is still in the grip of a deadly pandemic and it is my personal belief that HM is incredibly compassionate and sees the larger picture and, as both Harry and Eugenie's tributes were to their grandpa she is no doubt aware that many people will mourn while watching the funeral. They will shed tears for lost loved ones whose funerals they couldn't attend and so the entire funeral will perhaps be a very cathartic moment for people all over the world.
On the dress code, I think HM would have had a hard time seeing royals in uniform following the coffin. For the last 70 plus years her husband had been there doing that and it would have made his absence and her personal loss even more stark.

Okay, I was not aware of that. It seems in most places it still people in their 50s and 60s. Where I live those in their 30s who are not at high risk can not get it yet.
I believe the only people who've made it "about Harry's ego" in regards to the uniform are the tabloids. As far as I've seen, there's only been reports of Andrew actively complaining about not being able to wear the uniform he wanted.

That is what i think too. Would be a pity if no one can wear an Uniform because of this too. And then there would be the Issue what to do at future Events like the coronation of Charles orther (hopefully not for some years) funeral of HM.If that is the case the solution seems easy - Harry should wear the uniform of Captain, The Blues and Royals and Andrew should wear the uniform of Commander in the Royal Navy.
Correct me if I'm wrong on this but isn't it the *honorary* official military ranks that Harry no longer holds? Wouldn't it still be appropriate for him to wear the uniform of a Captain in the Army which was his rank when he left active service?
I love how the queen is looking at Charlotte (and baby Charlotte at her) in this picture.
Charles and Camilla have been to look at the flowers and other tributes left at Buckingham Palace gates. They were moved to the grounds of Malborough House where they have been laid out.
