PRINCE WILLIAM and Prince Harry were reunited in grief today for the Queen's lying-in-state, raising hopes that the royal family could further unite and heal their rift.
The brothers, along with the King, were due to follow the coffin on foot from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall, where the Queen will lie in state.
Relations between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the rest of the family have been strained since the couple stepped back from royal duties in 2020 and moved to California, and then gave a bombshell interview to Oprah Winfrey.
But the death of the Queen has seen the royals come together, and last night there was another show of togetherness.
Harry and Meghan were seen standing beside the King inside Buckingham Palace to receive the Queen's coffin after it made the journey across London from RAF Northolt in the new state hearse.
As it travelled, sections of busy roads like the A40 came to a stop with drivers stood by the central reservation watching while the public lined the pavements. At moments there was applause and cheers and flowers were thrown into the path of the hearse.
When it neared the Palace, three cheers went up and some people lit up the area with the torches on their phones, holding them above their heads.
