Again, it’s that he’s wearing medals when the military asked him not to present himself with a military affiliation.

Apparently, the king decided it was too embarrassing for him to endure that consequence, and granted him this exception.

I can't find this anywhere. can you point me ? thanks
everywhere is reporting he doesn't get to wear it because he is no longer a senior working royal.

are you guessing the king's reason ?

The only reason given seems to be: "Andrew was granted permission to wear his military uniform for his late mother’s final vigil “as a special mark of respect." I can find no mention one way or the other why Andrew and Harry get to wear medals on their civvies.
