Both Prince William and Prince Harry served in the military and wore their uniforms to their weddings, as is customary for royal grooms to do so. Colonel William was dressed in a red Irish Guards uniform. Since Captain Mark Phillips in 1973, he was the first royal groom to wear red. On his wedding day, Prince Harry wore a military uniform from the Blues and Royals. Despite his appointment as Captain-General of the Royal Marines, he chose to wear a Major’s uniform.
