Prince William and Harry set to ‘walk side-by-side’ Queen’s coffin at funeral

The Queen's funeral could see Prince William and Prince Harry walk side-by-side in the cortege behind her coffin.

Arrangements are now being made for the Monday, September 19 funeral at Westminster Abbey and talks are said to be taking place between William and Harry's representatives concerning an appearance together during the procession, reports The Mirror.

The pair were separated by their cousin Peter Phillips behind Prince Philip's coffin at his funeral in April 2021 but this time they are being tipped for a landmark show of unity, despite their relationship not being thought to be fully healed.

A Royal Family source told The Sun: "We are certainly not in the same place as Philip’s funeral when William and Harry didn’t walk side-by-side. Things haven’t changed but it is not as intense and they can co-exist."

They added: "But the flower visit really doesn’t change anything. It is the same situation as at Prince Philip’s funeral when William and Harry put their differences aside and supported each other and their families in that moment."

Harry and William memorably followed their mother Diana's coffin at the ages of just 12 and 15 for her funeral in 1997, joined by the Duke of Edinburgh and The Earl Spencer.

The touching repeat gesture at the Queen's funeral would come shortly after William and wife Kate Middleton, and Harry and wife Meghan Markle, were seen together in public for the first time in two-and-a-half years.

Crowds of mourners at Windsor Castle were left astonished on Saturday as the quartet, dubbed the 'Fab Four' in happier times, appeared without prior notice to inspect a sea of floral tributes.

William has since been praised for extending an invite to his brother and sister-in-law in a fitting tribute to their beloved grandma, who died on Thursday.

As the Queen's funeral approaches, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex may also fly their two young children from their new home in the US over to the UK.

Their young children Archie, three, and one-year-old Lilibet are currently being looked after by a nanny while their parents remain in the UK.
