British Royal Family

Meanwhile, Prince Harry served in the British Army for 10 years.

The body of the Queen had lain in state for 4½ days, a period that closed just hours before the start of the service.

The doors of Westminster Abbey have opened for the funeral of Britain’s longest-serving monarch. World leaders, including President Biden, are in attendance and thousands of people are lining the route along which the coffin will be pulled once the ceremony is over.

Prince Harry could be even further ostracised from the Royal Family if King Charles gets his way.

Though many mourn Elizabeth's death, others say her legacy is marred by Britain's imperial past

Amid the backdrop of mourning, tense discussions have been playing out behind closed Palace doors – and it’s getting worse for Harry and Meghan.

The accent of the world's longest-serving monarch evolved during her long reign – reflecting enormous social shifts that occurred during that time.

Prince William has said walking behind the Queen’s coffin reminded him of taking part in his mother’s procession following her tragic death.

Harry and Meghan had earlier stood behind King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla on the steps of the grand entrance of the Palace.

The plan for the Queen’s death and ensuing days was plotted out in minute detail for years – but there’s one major factor that was completely overlooked.

King Charles III has made his first speech to parliament since ascending to the throne following Queen Elizabeth II’s death.

He was officially proclaimed monarch during a historic televised Accession Council ceremony, as Britain’s new king undertook the first formalities of his reign while still grieving for his late mother.

The newly minted Wales’ not only got new titles this week, but took the reins of a vast estate that has made them unbelievably wealthy overnight.

Just a week ago the Duchess was throwing shade at the royals in a magazine - now following the Queen’s death she is at the centre of the family.

The new monarch may no longer be as outspoken on the subjects he has previously championed

King Charles has paid an emotional tribute to his “darling mama”, the late Queen Elizabeth II, in his first televised address as monarch.

For the next in line to the throne, the pilgrimage to the historic castle was infused with childhood memories and tragedy.

Charles, the longest-serving heir to the throne in British history, is now King. His apprenticeship as heir, lasting 70 years, has made him the best-prepared and oldest new monarch ever to take to the throne.

The announcement on Thursday comes a day after Queen Elizabeth canceled a meeting of her Privy Council and was told to rest.

At the moment the Queen died, the throne passed immediately and without ceremony to the heir, Charles, the former Prince of Wales.
