Princes William and Harry will stage a coffin vigil for the late Queen tonight for 15 minutes.
The Queen's grandchildren, including William and Harry, as well as Zara Tindall and Peter Philips, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, and Lady Louise and Viscount Severn will be attendance. All eight grandchildren will stand in quiet contemplation around their grandmother for 15 minutes as a mark of respect.
King Charles III, made the decision to allow Prince Harry to wear his military uniform at the vigil. Up until now, Harry has been banned from wearing his uniform as he is no longer a working royal, despite his two tours of duty in Afghanistan.

The time was initially down for 7.30pm however it is understood it will be slightly earlier, just after 6pm.
Harry has been in civilian dress for official events, including walking behind his grandmother’s coffin on Wednesday when it was carried to Westminster Hall for lying in state. A royal source said the Prince of Wales will stand at the head and the Duke of Sussex at the foot. At the King’s request, they will both be in uniform, while the other grandchildren will be in morning coat and dark formal dress with decorations.
A similar exception was made for the disgraced Prince Andrew, who is no longer a working royal but wore his military uniform as a “special mark of respect” for the Queen when he stood guard around her coffin during a vigil with his siblings on yesterday evening.
The source said the grandchildren, at the King’s invitation, were very keen to pay their respects in the same way their parents did last night. Both Prince Harry and Prince Andrew are expected to be in civilian dress for the Queen's state funeral on Monday.
