Prince Harry was moved during the religious ceremony held at the Abbey of the Palace of Westminster, in the City of London, in honor of his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II this Wednesday (14). Alongside his wife, Meghan Markle, he was photographed wiping away tears after prayers.
Queen Elizabeth II died last Thursday (8) at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. Soon after, her coffin was taken to Edinburgh, where various ceremonies took place. On Tuesday night (13), the monarch’s body was taken to London.
The queen’s wake will last four days, including visits by her subjects, and will end on the morning of September 19th.
Harry and Meghan, who live in California, United States, since leaving the obligations with the royal family, arrived in England on September 3 for commitments in Europe. Days later, upon learning of his grandmother’s delicate health, Harry traveled alone to Balmoral, Scotland, where he met his father, King Charles III, and his brother, Prince William, hours before the monarch’s death was announced.
Elizabeth will go down in history as the longest-reigning British sovereign. In July 2015, she surpassed the 63 years and five months of Queen Victoria’s throne (1837-1901). In June of this year, she surpassed the 70 years and 126 days of reign of the Thai Bhumibol Adulyadej, who died in 2016 – she was only behind Louis 14, in the post for 72 years and 110 days, from 1643 to 1715; the Frenchman, however, became de facto sovereign at the age of twenty-three, having assumed the throne at four.
