In a change of plans as Queen Elizabeth’s funeral processions continue, the Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry will join other members of the royal family who hold military rank in wearing a military uniform at the next ceremonial event for the late monarch on Saturday.
The update comes “at the King’s request,” according to a palace source, and the decision was made without Prince Harry requesting a change, PEOPLE has learned. The Duke of Sussex was prepared to wear whatever was asked, PEOPLE understands, and his focus is on honoring his grandmother.
Now, Harry will wear traditional regalia for Saturday’s solemn vigil at Westminster Hall in London. There, he and his brother Prince William will lead their charge of first cousins, briefly standing at opposite ends of their grandmother’s coffin in the medieval hall.
According to the palace source, William, 40, will stand at the head of Her Majesty’s coffin during the 15-minute watch, flanked by his first cousins Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips. Zara and Peter, who do not hold royal titles, are the children of Princess Anne, the Queen’s only daughter.
The Duke of Sussex will stand at the foot of the coffin alongside first cousins Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, the daughters of Prince Andrew, the Queen’s second son. Their other cousins, Lady Louise Windsor and Viscount Severn — the children of Prince Edward, the Queen’s youngest son — will stand at the middle of the coffin.
