Queen Elizabeth II's grandchildren have stood a solemn vigil in Westminster Hall tonight (Saturday). The Prince of Wales led his brother the Duke of Sussex, as well as his cousins Zara Tindall and Peter Philips, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie and Lady Louise Windsor and Viscount Severn into Westminster Hall.
The vigil which was scheduled to take place at 7.30pm, began shortly after 6pm. William was followed in by Harry, with the Duke of York’s daughters, the Earl of Wessex’s children and the Princess Royal’s children behind them.
The Queen’s eight grandchildren looked deep in thought as they stood guard around her coffin for a vigil in Westminster Hall. The Prince of Wales was flanked by his cousins Zara Tindall and Peter Philips, while the Duke of Sussex stood with Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, as Lady Louise Windsor, 18, and her 14-year-old brother Viscount Severn were at the middle of the coffin.
They had their heads bowed as members of the public filed past them. William wore the Blues and Royals No 1 uniform, the Garter Sash, the Garter Star, the Golden, Diamond and Platinum Jubilee Medals and RAF pilot wings.
The Duke of Sussex wore a Blues and Royals No 1 Uniform, KCVO Neck Order and Star, Afghanistan Operational Service Medal, Golden, Diamond and Platinum Jubilee medals and Army Pilot Wings. Other family members watched on from the sidelines during the vigil, among them The Earl and Countess of Wessex.
