This Monday, September 19, the royal family attended the state funeral of Elizabeth II in Westminster Abbey. During the ceremony, Prince Harry appeared very emotional and struggled not to break down in public.
A moved grandson. After having attended the tributes organized for Her late Majesty in recent days, Prince Harry was naturally present at the funeral of Elizabeth II, in Westminster Abbey, this Monday, September 19. Installed just behind King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla Parker Bowles, Prince William's brother appeared very moved. Eyes filled with tears and face closed, the husband of Meghan Markle tried, somehow, to contain his emotion. Standing in front of him, the new sovereign was also overcome by emotion during this ceremony. As reported by our colleagues from the Mirror, Prince Harry did not sing the national anthem at his grandmother's funeral.
During this historic event, Prince Harry was placed apart from his brother William. If they arrived together in the religious building, closely followed by their respective wives, Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle, they were then separated. As clarified by The Express, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been placed across the aisle from Westminster Abbey, thus being separated from Kate Middleton and Prince William, seated alongside their two eldest children.
Why Charles III stood out during the ceremony

A perfectly normal attitude, since he is the sovereign. As a reminder, King Charles III entered the religious building following the queen's coffin. A very British peculiarity, which means that the monarch still walks behind his predecessor as long as he has not been buried...
