The Queen will be moved to Westminster Hall on Wednesday
Many thousands are
expected to file past the coffin and pay their respects. However, royal
fans are being warned that the large crowds mean queues can last for hours,
possibly overnight, so it may not be suitable for younger children.
William and Harry, alongside
their wives Kate and Meghan, made a surprise appearance on Saturday
when they headed to Windsor to observe tributes left for Her Majesty.
William and Harry hadn’t been
seen together at Windsor since the funeral of their grandfather, Prince Philip.
Although both had been present at during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee
celebrations they were not fully together.
