Britain’s Princes William and Harry will march together for the first time this weekend.
The Army brothers - who are both second lieutenants in the Household Cavalry - will walk alongside each other in the annual Combined Cavalry Old Comrades Association Parade in London’s Hyde Park this Sunday (13.05.07).
The princes’ will wear City suits, black bowler hats and carry umbrellas for the memorial service, reports Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper.
The tradition uniform reflects the ‘proper order of dress’ which applied before World War I.
Harry will be marching without his fellow soldiers from the Blues and Royals A Squadron, who have been deployed to Iraq.
The 22-year-old’s posting to the war-torn country has been delayed by defence chiefs in order for Harry’s regiment to assess the danger posed by opposition rebels before he is flown out.
They are also keen to do all they can to keep his presence there as secret as possible from insurgents who have threatened to target him.
Harry is expected to join his Army colleagues sometime this month for a six-month tour of duty.
He has been trained to lead 12 men in four Scimitar armoured reconnaissance vehicles.
However, Army chiefs are considering the possibility of Harry’s duties being purely office-based to keep him away from the dangers of conflict.
