Wedding Princes: Harry and William Wear Military Uniforms

The brothers are each dressed for the rank of Major. But their uniforms Saturday have some subtle differences.

For the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the brothers are clad in the “the frockcoat uniform of the Blues and Royals,” according to the palace press office. The uniforms were made by Dege & Skinner.

The palace describes Prince Harry’s outfit:

The badge on the left chest is Pilots’ Wings attained whilst serving with the Army Air Corps for flying Apache helicopters. The four medal ribbons below the Wings are, from left to right: K.C.V.O., Afghanistan with rosette, The Queen’s Golden Jubilee and The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.

Prince William has his own badges:

The Wings are those attained flying helicopters whilst serving with the RAF, the two medals below from left to right are: Queen’s Golden Jubilee and Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.

The Duke of Cambridge is also wearing the Garter Star.

As an Aide-de-Camp to Her Majesty The Queen, The Duke is wearing the EIIR cyphers on his shoulder straps along with a gold Aiguillette on his right shoulder.

The trousers, officially called ‘overalls,’ are made from a blue and black wool barathea and are fastened by a leather strap and buckle underneath the boot. They would have traditionally been worn on horseback.
