Prince Harry breaks military rule but can you guess what it is?

Prince Harry has been accused of breaking military rules while on official duty in a British Army uniform by wearing a beard.

The 33-year-old left the armed forces in 2015 but attended the Cenotaph in London for the Remembrance Sunday service on official duty with a full beard. 

A serving military member in the elite cavalry regiment was unhappy that Prince Harry had not shaved for the occasion.

“Prince Harry is letting us all down. There's no place for beards in the Queen's cavalry. He should have shaved it off for such an important day,” they said.

British Army rules forbid beards, except in a few circumstances, such as when a soldier is suffering from a skin complaint, or has strong religious reasons for retaining facial hair.

However as Prince Harry is no longer a serving officer, the rules do not require him to comply with the regulations.
