Prince William and Prince Harry put on a united front as they paid tribute to their grandmother Queen Elizabeth II.

For this solemn procession, the Queen’s grandchildren were joined by King Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward, as well as their cousin, Peter Phillips.

Prince William was dressed in military attire while Harry, who stepped back from his royal duties in early 2021, was dressed in civilian attire. The streets were reportedly dead silent, save for the gong of Big Ben and the shots of guns in Hyde Park, per CNN.

They were joined by their wives, Catherine and Meghan, in the unplanned appearance. The Sussexes were in England doing charity work at the time of the Queen’s death.
Prince Harry released a touching statement following his grandmother’s death. Posting to the Archewell foundation’s social media, he wrote, “She was globally admired and respected throughout her life and now her everlasting legacy. Let us echo the words she spoke after the passing of her husband Prince Philip, words which can bring comfort to all of us now: ‘Life, of course, consists of final partings as well as first meetings.'”
