United in grief: Prince William and Prince Harry walk side-by-side behind Queen's coffin
Prince William and Prince Harry have continued to show unity in the face of grief, walking side-by-side behind their grandmother Queen Elizabeth II's coffin.
The brothers tonight joined the royal procession in London, led by their father King Charles, from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall, where Her Majesty will lie in state.
Their public show of unity is in stark departure from last year, when they walked either side of their cousin, Peter Philips, for Prince Philip's funeral in April 2021.

While William and Harry will walk the path to Westminster together, their wives, Kate, Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan, will travel by car.
They will be joined by Camilla, Queen Consort and Sophie, Countess of Wessex.

It is the second time in as many days William and Harry have put their alleged brotherly feud behind them out of respect for Her Majesty.
In a touching show of unity following the Queen's death last Thursday, the brothers were joined by their wives for a rare 'Fab Four' walkabout outside Windsor Castle.
It was the first time the royal couples had appeared in public together since 2020.

William reportedly made contact with Harry and Meghan ahead of the impromptu moment.
"Both he and the Princess of Wales felt that the focus should solely be on this period of deep mourning and nothing else," an insider told The Times.
"That the focus should only be on his late grandmother."
