Prince Harry has appeared alongside the Queen's children and grandchildren in his military uniform at the vigil for Her Majesty. All eight of the grandchildren are to pay their respects at the vigil in Westminster Hall.
This includes the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex - the King's sons. They were joined by Peter Phillips, Zara Tindall, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, Lady Louise Windsor, and James, Viscount Severn.
Harry, who saw action on the front line during two tours of duty in Afghanistan, has previously been denied the chance to wear military uniform as he publicly mourns, because he is no longer a working royal. But royal sources say the King has decided his youngest son can wear uniform for the vigil. He will stand at the foot of the coffin, with William at the head.

William will be flanked by his cousins Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips, while Harry will be with Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, with Lady Louise Windsor and her brother Viscount Severn at the middle of the coffin. On Friday the Queen’s children – Charles, the Duke of York, the Princess Royal and the Earl of Wessex – held their own vigil.
This is the first time in history a monarch’s grandchildren will perform what is traditionally known as the Vigil of the Princes. Final preparations are under way for the funeral on Monday, with politicians and royal dignitaries from around the world expected to arrive throughout the weekend.
Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie paid a moving, heartfelt tribute addressed to the Queen in the build-up to the vigil, saying: “Goodbye dear Grannie, it has been the honour of our lives to have been your granddaughters.”
