Queen's 'favourite grandson' moved to allow William and Harry to walk together in procession

A change in the Queen's coffin procession meant Prince William and Prince Harry walked together, according to national reports. It came after the Queen's 'favourite grandson' took a side step for the brothers to stand shoulder to shoulder.

The pair were seen following the coffin as it made its way from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey. At Prince Philip's funeral last year, the brothers were separated by their cousin Peter Phillips.

The Daily Record reports Princess Anne's son walked between Prince William and Prince Harry at the funeral in April 2021. During the procession to the Abbey on Wednesday (September 14), Prince Edward, Prince Andrew, Princess Anne and King Charles walked directly behind the Queen's coffin.
