The King will walk behind the Queen's coffin with Prince Harry and Prince William when it makes its journey from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall where Queen Elizabeth II will lie in state.
King Charles III, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex will follow the coffin on foot as it leaves Buckingham Palace today. They will be joined by the Duke of York, The Princess Royal and the Earl of Wessex.
Anne the Princess Royal's son Peter Phillips and her husband Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence will also walk in the procession, as well as the Duke of Gloucester and the Earl of Snowdon.

The Queen Consort, the Princess of Wales, the Countess of Wessex and the Duchess of Sussex will travel by car.
Queen Elizabeth II's coffin will leave Buckingham Palace at around 2.22pm, to arrive at Westminster Hall for 3pm. A 20 minute service will then be led by the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Dean of Westminster.
In April 2021, Harry and William joined their father when they walked behind the Duke of Edinburgh’s coffin at his funeral.
The brothers were separated by their cousin Peter Phillips but he dropped back half a pace at one point so the siblings appeared closer together.
After the funeral service, William and Harry could be seen chatting as they walked back up the hill from the chapel to the castle.
Mourners have already joined the queue to attend the Queen’s lying in state at Westminster Hall which begins at 5pm on Wednesday.
It will continue until 6.30am on September 19 – the day of the Queen’s funeral.
Government guidance says the queue is expected to be very long, with people standing for “many hours, possibly overnight” and with very little opportunity to sit down.
