As the Queen made her way through Buckingham Palace’s great arch for the final time, followed by her children and grandchildren, all eyes were drawn to the sight of the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex walking side by side.
As they marched sombrely together, William in full military uniform and Harry in morning suit due to the fact that he’s no longer a working royal, it was hard not to recall the deeply moving images of the then 15- and 12-year-old princes walking behind their mother’s coffin at her funeral 25 years ago. Now, as then, they are united in grief, enough so to put their recent troubles behind them for a rare public display of unity.
