Prince William and Prince Harry's reunion at Queen's procession leaves people in tears

People were in tears at Prince William and Prince Harry's reunion at Queen Elizabeth II's procession.

The nation has been in mourning since Her Majesty died last Thursday aged 96. The former monarch's funeral is set to take place on Monday, September 18.

The coffin was transported from Buckingham Palace to the Palace of Westminster. This is known as the Lying-In-State procession as thousands gathered along the route to pay their respects to Elizabeth II.

There was a strong show of unity as members of the Royal Family followed the procession. Viewers following the show on Twitter were particularly moved to see Prince William and Harry had put aside their reported rift to walk side-by-side on the route.

The brothers have previously completed a procession when their mum, Princess Diana, died in 1997. People were in tears at how emotional the moment must have been for the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex.

Olivia said: "This must be awful for William and Harry. They had to walk behind their mothers coffin and now their grandmothers"

Amy commented: "Can't help but be reminded of Diana's funeral seeing Charles, William and Harry walking behind the coffin like that again"

Georgie posted: "I still can’t believe William and Harry had to do this walk behind their own mother’s coffin when they were just children."

Corey tweeted, alongside crying emojis: "Not Harry and William walking behind her coffin"

Max said: "Can’t imagine how triggering it must be for Prince William and Prince Harry to walk in the procession behind the Queen’s coffin. It’ll be hammering home some awful memories for them."
