IN PICTURES | Elizabeth II's grandchildren gather in front of her coffin

Princes William and Harry and Queen Elizabeth II’s six other grandchildren attended a wake on Saturday evening around her coffin, two days before the monarch’s funeral.

Often described as enemy brothers, the two sons of Charles III were in uniform – Harry no longer wore it since his resounding withdrawal from the monarchy – unlike their six cousins. They gathered at 6:00 p.m. in Westminster Hall, with their backs to the coffin and their heads bowed, under the gaze of visitors who came to bow before the remains of Elizabeth II, on display to the public until Monday morning.
