There was speculation Harry, who served two tours of Afghanistan, would be blocked from wearing a military uniform for the vigil as he is no longer a senior royal.
But The Sun confirmed he has been granted special permission for the period of reflection.
The ruling was not a U-turn but a “one-off” decision by the King as a mark of respect for the late monarch.

Her Majesty was given a state funeral today to mark her incredible 70 years of service.
Previously, Princes Harry and William were stood side-by-side as they followed the late monarch from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall in a haunting echo of their mother Diana's funeral in 1997.
Following the service, a procession will be led by more than 200 musicians as members of the military line the route.
Royals will follow the gun carriage carrying Her Majesty's coffin with Wills and Harry putting on another united front in the sombre march.
