Prince Harry might wear his captain general uniform for the last time at an event this weekend.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are expected to join the royal family for the Commonwealth Day service. However, prior to that they will be attending another royal engagement and it might be the last time royal fans would see Prince Harry in uniform.

“The Duke of Sussex accompanied by the Duchess of Sussex, will attend the annual Mountbatten Festival of Music @RMbandservice at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday 7 March theroyalmarinescharity.org.uk This might be the last time we see the Prince in the uniform of #CaptainGeneralRM,” royal commentator Dickie Arbiter wrote on Twitter.

The post garnered mixed reactions from online users. Some were sad with the thought of Prince Harry leaving the royal family while others felt relieved that he decided to turn his back from his royal duties and live the life he desires with his wife and child.

“This will be a beautiful and at the same time sad evening. TRH the Duke and the Duchess are both very likeable and I deeply regret the very unfortunate developments of the last months. How wonderful it would be to be able to turn back the clock!” @BennJurij commented.

“Looking forward to seeing the Sussexes and wishing them success & happiness in the new chapter of their lives,” @rafegirl added.

“Harry will be greatly missed,” @HalopoffLaurie wrote.

Meanwhile, some also attacked Prince Harry for his decision. Others don’t want him to wear the uniform at the event, with one saying that “he’s an insult to the armed forces.”

“He shouldn't wear the uniform, he's a disgrace,” @jackaranian commented.

“Sick of Harry and his whining,” one wrote.

“I think it would be inappropriate of him to wear it at this event. He missed a memorial to pimp his wife at a movie premiere. He's not a good representative,” @queen_boudica_ commented.

In related news, Prince Harry and Markle made a diplomatic blunder after visiting Ireland. The couple wrote on their website in January that their mini-moon in the country was to strengthen Commonwealth, which is wrong because Ireland is not a member of the association.
