Princes Harry and William shared a touching moment together as they viewed tributes for the Queen at Windsor Castle. The new Prince of Wales was joined by wife Kate Middleton, while his brother held the hand of his wife, Meghan Markle, as they greeted wellwishers.
The Sussexes arrived holding hands as they walked alongside the Prince and Princess of Wales towards the crowds of people who had gathered outside. Meghan rubbed Harry's back reassuringly before linking arms with him as they looked at the flowers, while William pointed something out to the other three.

After looking at many of the tributes, all four walked off together and the two brothers got very close in heartwarming scenes.
The pair started talking to each other for a few seconds and gave each other support.
Then the two couples went off in separate directions and went to speak to people on different sides of the road
William shook hands with one woman in the crowd and spoke to her for a good lengh of time, while Kate chatted with other members of the public to his side
Meghan also shook hands with a large number of people, including a child who was on her parent's shoulders. Both Meghan and Harry collected flowers from the wellwishers.
It's the first time the two couples have been seen together since the Commonwealth Day service in early 2020, which was the Sussexes final engagement after quitting the royal family.

Grieving members of the Queen's family also came out to see the many tributes laid outside Balmoral today after a service at Crathie Kirk church.
The Queen's daughter, Princess Anne, was in attendance along with her husband, Sir Timothy Laurence.
Anne's children, Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall, who wiped away tears, were there to pay their respects along with Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.
The Queen's youngest son, Prince Edward also arrived with his wife, Sophie, Countess of Wessex, and their daughter Lady Louise Windsor, who was seen clutching her mums' hand.
Prince Andrew was also seen for the first time since his mother's death - and he gave a way to the cameras as he drove to the service.
The Duke of York thanked people for visiting Balmoral after the death of his mother the Queen, saying: "We’ve been allowed one day, now we start the process of handing her on."
King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William and Prince Harry had already left Scotland so were not in attedance.

Prince Harry was the first royal to be seen leaving Balmoral - with the Duke of Sussex laying a supportive hand on an airport employee as he boarded a plane.
He had flown into Aberdeen Airport alone, hours after his brother and two uncles flew together to the same airstrip.
Later in the day, Charles and Queen Consort Camilla were seen leaving the royal family's Scottish Highlands estate this morning as they make their way back to London.
The new King sat in the back seat of the chauffer-driven car, with Camilla in the front seat, for the drive to Aberdeen airport.
On Friday night, King Charles addressed the nation in an emotional six-minute speech, where he praised his wife Camilla and announced that William and his wife, Kate Middleton, would become the new Prince and Princess of Wales.

He also sent love to his youngest son and his wife Meghan Markle, saying: "I want also to express my love for Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives overseas."
The biggest tribute was obviously for his "darling mama" and his late father Prince Philip.
Charles ended his speech by saying: "As you begin your last great journey to join my dear late Papa, I want simply to say this: thank you.
"Thank you for your love and devotion to our family and to the family of nations you have served so diligently all these years. May 'flights of Angels sing thee to thy rest'."
The new King has a busy few days ahead, as he is now preparing to embark on a tour of the country in the days before the funeral to meet his new subjects as millions around Britain unite in their sorrow.

It's been a momentous day for King Charles, who has been formally proclaimed monarch at the Accession Council and will now host a number of audiences at Buckingham Palace.
More than 200 privy councillors, made up of mostly senior politicians past and present including former prime ministers, were present to hear the Clerk of the Council read the proclamation.
He made a personal declaration on the death of the Queen saying: "I know how deeply you and the entire nation, and I think I may say the whole world, sympathise with me in this irreparable loss we have all suffered.
"Her reign was unequalled in its duration, its dedication and its devotion. Even as we grieve, we give thanks for this most faithful life."
