Kensington Palace has said that Britain's Queen Elizabeth II's eight grandchildren will observe a vigil at her coffin Lying-in-State at Westminster Hall in London on Saturday as a mark of respect. This comes after their parents' vigil on Friday.
William, Prince of Wales, will be joined by his younger brother Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex. In a new development, Prince Harry will be sporting a military uniform at their father, the 'King's request'.
As a non-working member of the royal family, former British Army soldier Prince Harry has not been in his military outfit for the royal procession for the late monarch earlier this week. The other grandchildren will be in morning coats and dark formal dresses with decorations.
