Prince Harry and Meghan Markle later filed out of the hall holding hands, sparking criticism from some.
The last week has been emotional for the family of the late Queen Elizabeth II, and Prince Harry shed some tears on Wednesday for his grandmother at a vigil in her honor.
Prince Harry and Prince William walked side-by-side in a procession behind the Queen’s coffin as it was carried from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall on Wednesday. They were later joined by their wives, Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge and newly appointed Princess of Wales, and Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, at the Service for the Reception of Her Majesty’s Coffin.
According to Entertainment Tonight, the vigil was solemn in nature, with both Kate and Meghan in black dresses and matching black fascinator hats, and sentimental jewels both gifted to them by the Queen. Prince William donned his military uniform while Prince Harry wore a black mourning suit adorned with military medals.
In one touching moment, the Duke of Sussex could be seen wiping a few stray tears from his eyes.
Before filing out of the hall after the service, Harry and Meghan took each other’s hands as they walked, which triggered criticism from some people online who branded the act of affection disrespectful.
