Princes Harry and William wear Blues and Royals military uniform for stunning vigil at Queens coffin

Prince Harry, who stepped back as a working royal in 2020, has been seen wearing military uniform while publicly mourning his grandmother Queen Elizabeth at Westminster Hall on Saturday.

The Queen's eight grandchildren held a 15-minute vigil around her coffin - with Prince Harry wearing military uniform at the King's request. 

The Prince of Wales, who was also in military uniform, was at the head of the coffin as the Duke of Sussex stood at the foot. All eight grandchildren had their heads bowed as members of the public filed past them in Westminster Hall.

Harry, who served on the front line during two tours of duty in Afghanistan, has been seen wearing military uniform for the first time while publicly mourning his grandmother.

Heartfelt moments were seen when all eight of Queen Elizabeth's grandchildren gathered to honour the late monarch in a moving vigil at Westminster Hall.
