The moving video showed Prince
William, Prince Harry, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, Peter
Phillips, Zara Tindall, Lady Louise Windsor and James, Viscount
Severn, deep in thought as they guarded Her Majesty.
Captioning the video were the
words: “The Queen’s grandchildren hold a Vigil beside Her Majesty’s coffin
at Westminster Hall.”
The Prince of Wales stood at
the head of the coffin, and the Duke of Sussex stood at the foot. William was
flanked by his cousins Zara Tindall and Peter Philips; while Harry was flanked
by Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.
Thoughts were unanimous among
royal fans who all took to the comments section to leave messages for the royal
family.
One fan wrote: “They have
all shown so much strength during this sad time.” A second added:
“Her grandchildren did her proud.”
A third wrote: “Love
seeing these beautiful grandchildren at her side.” One fan gave special
mention to Viscount Severn who is just 14: “A very moving tribute and well
done to Viscount Severn so young but he did so well.”

Another added: “The Queen
would be proud of you all, well done, I understand how hard that must have been
x.”
Both William and Harry were
wearing their military uniform, with King Charles granting Harry the
right to do so. The doting father had been prepared to obey his grandmother’s
wishes and wear a suit or uniform of her choice.
William wore blues and royals,
No.1 Uniform, complete with the garter sash, the garter star, and medals from
the Golden, Diamond and Platinum Jubilees alongside RAF Pilot Wings.
The Princes’ spouses were not
present at the vigil, with Princess Kate and Meghan Markle remaining at home.
Sophie Wessex was present at the moving ceremony and look visibility moved as
her children took their places.
