The Duke of Sussex was stripped of his military titles after giving up life as a working royal and moving to the United States with his wife, Meghan. He wore civilian dress for official events, including when he walked behind Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin on Wednesday when it was taken to Westminster Hall to lie in state. The duke, who served two tours of duty in Afghanistan, will join his brother, the Prince of Wales, in uniform at Westminster Hall on Saturday, ahead of a state funeral on Monday. Graphic Prince Harry will stand at the foot of the coffin, with his brother at the head. Prince William will be flanked by his cousins Zara Tyndall and Peter Phillips, the Queen’s eldest grandson. Harry will be with Princesses Beatrice and Eugenia, with Lady Louise Windsor and her brother Viscount Severn in the middle of the coffin. The Princess Royal’s daughter, Zara Tindall, was close to her grandmother, sharing a love of horses and riding. Grandchildren greeted the Queen with a kiss on both cheeks, followed by a curtsey or a bow. Lady Louise Windsor, 18, and her brother Viscount Severn, 14, live in Bagshot Park, Surrey, not far from the Queen’s Windsor Castle home, and spent many hours visiting the late monarch. Lady Louise, who studies English at the University of St Andrews and looks a lot like the Queen as a child, is a skilled carriage driver, following in her grandfather Philip’s footsteps. The Queen leaves behind seven great-grandchildren: Savannah and Isla Phillips, Prince George of Wales (future King), Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis of Wales, Mia, Lena and Lucas Tyndall, Archie and Lilybeth Mountbatten- Windsor, August Brooksbank and Siena.

When the Queen met her great-grandson George soon after his birth in 2013, it was the first time in nearly 120 years that a reigning monarch had met a future king three generations ahead. On Friday night, the Queen’s children, King Charles, the Duke of York, the Princess Royal and the Earl of Wessex, took part in their own vigil. The King, Anne, Andrew and Edward stood around their mother’s coffin, their heads bowed as members of the audience slowly passed by.
