Her Majesty's other grandchildren - Peter Phillips, Zara Tindall, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie - stood round the coffin with their mother watching from the sidelines.
Sophie Wessex looked tearful as she watched her two children take part in a vigil for their grandmother the Queen as she lies-in-state. Lady Louise Windsor, 18, and brother James, Viscount Severen, 14, joined Prince Harry and Prince William for the emotional tribute on Saturday at Westminster Hall.
The great-grandchildren looked emotional and on the verge of tears throughout the ceremony - one of the last public events before her funeral on Monday. Following a request from his father King Charles, Prince Harry wore military uniform to mark the occasion, for the first time since 2020. The vigil follows the Queen's children, including the King, stood guard for about 15 minutes, while mourners passed by. After they finished the emotional ceremony, well-wishers applauded them.
