Though Prince Andrew will likely be seen in mourning dress for the ceremonies, a special exception has been made for him to wear a military uniform at the final vigil as a sign of respect for his mother and monarch, who “peacefully” died at age 96 on September 8.

AtPrince Philip’s funeral in April 2021, Buckingham Palace announced thatno senior royal family members would wear military uniforms.
In March, Andrew attended the Service of Thanksgiving for his late father in a dark suit, which dress code dictated.
In an unexpected move,Queen Elizabetharrived at the memorial service for her beloved husbandon the arm of her second son, six weeks after he settled the suit with Giuffre.
“It shows she wholeheartedly loves and believes her son,” royal commentator Robert Jobson told PEOPLE at the time of the surprise. “As she did when she made a statement about Camilla being Queen’s Consort, many people will now accept the Queen’s word and judgment.”

Jobson, the author ofPrince Philip’s Century, added that there was disquiet among senior members of the family, “but she insisted.”
“It does make some sense that he accompany her because he doesn’t have a partner. A settlement has been paid but he’s guilty of nothing in the eyes of the law,” he explained. “She has faith in Andrew. Even if he disappears from public life, he’s been able to pay tribute to his father, who after all, was very proud of his service in the Royal Navy, where he fought in the Falkland Islands conflict.”
