Princess Kate Middleton and Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle will not join their spouses Prince William and Harry as the estranged brothers will stand vigil beside Queen Elizabeth’s coffin on Saturday evening.

According to a Kensington Palace spokesman, "The Prince of Wales will stand at the Head, the Duke of Sussex at the Foot."

The spokesman further said, "At the King's request, they will both be in uniform."

Their spouses will not attend the vigil, the spokesman said.
