I heard he's wearing it when they attend the Queens casket for a 15 minute vigil this weekend.

While he was In he apparently did not get special treatment, but outside of that your comment is correct.

Lmao his whole existence is special privilege.
But all the royals are wearing their military uniforms. The funny part is that Harry actually is a combat veteran, earned the rank of Captain, but doesn't get to wear the uniform.

At the micro, unit level, perhaps not. At the macro level, I'm betting he very much did. Did he not essentially choose exactly what he wanted to do?

I have no idea what he chose, but I believe he went twice once as a zipperhead and once as a pilot.
The British Military still is a class system, so Harry wouldn't have been the only officer to have leveraged his family's standing to get a good gig.

William.
Charles.
Andrew was barred from wearing it because he's a raper.

Not sure where you are going with this, obviously none.
The point is that of the Special Privileges Brigade, Harry probably has the most legit claim to the uniform.

Andrew was allowed to wear his military uniform for more of the mourning/funeral events than Harry actually - they called a special allowance as a consideration for his mom.

My understanding is he took a dangerous gig. At least twice. On one occasion, a scumbag newspaper placed a big target on him and his unit’s back when they reported where they were serving in Afghanistan.
He had to be taken out of the situation for his and his unit’s safety.
Subsequent to that, he served in Afghanistan again. He also set up Invictus to provide help for injured and disabled ex servicemen.
He was all in when he served and he looked out for his colleagues when he left the service.
I cannot stand even the concept of royalty and the privilege that comes with it.
That said, the amount of #### that guy gets thrown at him whilst his sex trafficking enabling Uncle lives in relative obscurity is sickening.
If one person in that family has earned the right to wear a military uniform in that family, it is Harry.
