Prince Harry and Prince Andrew 'to miss out' on Queen's Platinum Jubilee medals
Prince Harry and Prince Andrew are expected to miss out on being awarded special medals in celebration of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
The honour is set to be handed to serving members of the Armed Forces and those who work in emergency services.
Members of the royal family with honorary positions in the military are also eligible.

But since Prince Andrew and Prince Harry have lost their military honours, they will not receive the commemorative medal, which will mark the Queen's 70th year on the throne, The Telegraph UK reports.
The award will be given on February 6, when the monarch officially marks the historic anniversary.
The silver medal features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth on one side, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley - the man behind the recent statue of Princess Diana - and the Latin inscription "Elizabeth II Dei Gratia Regina Fid Def" (Elizabeth II, by the grace of God, Queen, Defender of the Faith) on the reverse.
Similar medals were created and awarded for the Queen's Silver Jubilee in 1977, Golden Jubilee in 2002 and Diamond Jubilee in 2012.

The loss of the titles came hours after a US judge ordered Prince Andrew's civil case to go to trial. He is being pursued by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who has accused him of sexual assault. Prince Andrew has denied the allegations.
Meanwhile Prince Harry gave up his three honorary titles a year after stepping back from his place as a senior working royal.
They included his roles as Captain General of the Royal Marines, Honorary Air Commandant of RAF Honington and Commodore-in-Chief, Small Ships and Diving, Royal Naval Command.
Both princes no longer perform public royal duties representing Her Majesty.
