Harry and Meghan reunite with William and Kate to view floral tributes at gates of Windsor Castle

Harry and Meghan have reunited with the new Prince and Princess of Wales to see the floral tributes left for the Queen.

Prince William is said to have personally invited the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, with all four dressed in black as they walked along the gates of Windsor Castle. Harry and Meghan held hands as they looked at the tributes, with the Duke putting his hand affectionately on Meghan's back at one point, the Mirror Reports.

They were seen to be pointing at different tributes and discussing them as they were waved at by members of the crowd. All four left together in the same car after speaking to members of the public for around 40 minutes, also receiving flowers, gifts and hugs from well-wishers.

Earlier Prince William shared an emotional tribute to his grandmother, describing her as an "extraordinary leader."

It was the first time he had spoken publicly since the death of the 96-year-old monarch on Thursday afternoon. His moving statement read: "She was by my side at my happiest moments.

"And she was by my side during the saddest days of my life. I knew this day would come, but it will be some time before the reality of life without Grannie will truly feel real."

Earlier today, a bank holiday was approved for the day of the Queen's funeral, which it was announced will take place at 11am on September 19 at Westminster Abbey. The Queen will lie in state for "four clear days" in Westminster Hall from Wednesday September 14, with further details of how the public can file past the late monarch's coffin to be announced in the coming days.
