“The shared national moment of reflection is an opportunity for everyone across the UK to mark the death of Her Majesty and we will set out details of where the Prime Minister will mark it closer to that time.”It is understood that the Duke of York will not wear uniform at ceremonial events during the period of mourning for the Queen, as he is not a working royal. However, sources said he is expected to wear military uniform at the final vigil in Westminster Hall as a special mark of respect.
The newly recreated Number 12 Company Irish Guards will take over from Number 7 Company The Coldstream Guards, who became the King’s Guard immediately upon the death of the Queen. After hearing addresses from both the Lord Speaker and Commons Speaker, King Charles III provided a reply to MPs and peers at Westminster, marking the first time he speaks to Parliament.
