Somberly walking behind Her Majesty's casket was her son, King Charles III, and two grandsons, Prince William and Prince Harry.

Other royals included in the procession were Elizabeth's other children, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and Prince Edward. Both Harry and Andrew were not wearing their military uniforms as both have stepped down as senior members of the royal family in recent years.

On Tuesday, a spokesperson for the Duke of Sussex released a statement to royal reporters about Harry's reaction to not being allowed to wear his uniform despite his decade of service. «Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex, will wear a mourning suit throughout events honoring his grandmother,» the statement read. «His decade of military service is not determined by the uniform he wears, and we respectfully ask that focus remain on the life and legacy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.»The Queen's coffin has left Buckingham Palace for the Palace of Westminster, carried on a gun carriage of The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery The Princess Royal, Prince Harry and King Charles are among the royal family members walking behind the coffin https://t.co/ZkO0QOI0Pepic.twitter.com/y8hCpPuOKeThe royal family, including Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, received the queen's coffin at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday evening.
