Fans of the royal family were reduced to tears as the Queen's eight grandchildren held a vigil around her coffin. 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 early on Saturday evening (September 16).
William, who is now the Prince of Wales after the new King Charles passed down his title to his eldest son, 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.
