King Charles sent a "brutal message" to the world regarding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle today in what was a "public snipping of Harry's royal testicles", according to a royal expert.
Last week it was announced that the Duke of Sussex would not be allowed to wear military uniform at the Queen's funeral today (Monday, September 19).
A spokesperson for Harry said in response: "[Harry] will wear a morning suit throughout events honouring his grandmother.

"His decade of military service is not determined by the uniform he wears and we respectfully ask that focus remain on the life and legacy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II."
Buckingham Palace then U-turned and permitted Harry to wear his military uniform at the vigil in Westminster Hall on Saturday (September 17), but not at today's service.
According to royal expert Eric Schiffer, the move was a "missile from the Royal Family" and says a lot about the Sussexes' previous actions.
He told the Daily Star: "The King's ban on Harry's military uniform at Her Majesty's funeral was a missile from the Royal Family.
"It made clear Harry's stature and relationship with the Royal Family remain in the septic muck.
"The King sent a brutal message that the excruciating pain Harry and Meghan caused him and his mother would not be forgotten.
"While the King didn't have Harry wear a royal-coloured straightjacket, the lack of military attire was a public snipping of Harry's royal testicles.
"Harry's block of stepping into his uniform today puts the Royal Family's resentment of Harry, perceived by many as a backstabbing defector, on global display."
To add insult to injury, the Queen's 'ER' initials were removed from Harry's uniform at the event on Saturday.
The 'ER' initials are traditionally worn by those 'in service' of the monarch, which wouldn't include Harry after he stepped back from royal duties alongside his Meghan in 2020.
