Prince Harry reaches Queen Elizabeth’s funeral.
Queen Elizabeth’s eight grandchildren held a vigil around their coffin ahead of the state funeral on Saturday.
Prince William and his brother Prince Harry stood guard around the crowned coffin in London’s Westminster Hall.
Harry – who served on two tours with the British Army in Afghanistan – wore the uniform of the Blues and Royals cavalry regiment in which he served.
Royal expert Roya Nikkhah quoted Harry’s close friend as saying he was ‘devastated’ by the removal of the Queen’s ‘ER’ initials and even considered not wearing her uniform to the wake because of it.
The friend said: “He is heartbroken. It seems very intentional to remove his grandmother’s initials.”
The letters “ER” stand for Elizabeth Regina [Regina in Latin].
