King Charles III and his siblings stand guard in front of the Queen's coffin
Along with his siblings, King Charles III (73) accompanied the wagon with his mother's coffin. The grief can already be clearly seen in the royals, as you can see in the video above.
It got particularly emotional in St. Giles Cathedral. There, the Queen's four heirs held a wake at the coffin. To do this, they positioned themselves in a ten-minute ceremony, called the "Vigil of the Princes".
With their heads bowed, the siblings spread out along the sides of the coffin that was laid out, their backs to it. During this ceremony, those attending the service were allowed to walk past the coffin and say goodbye to the Queen.
