- Queen Elizabeth's four children held a second silent vigil over her coffin on Friday.
- All four, including Prince Andrew, donned official military garb.
King Charles III, Princess Anne, Prince Edward, and Prince Andrew held a second silent vigil over the Queen's coffin at Westminster Hall on Friday.
The late queen's children were joined by members of the military who have been keeping watch over Queen Elizabeth's remains for the past two days.
The royals stood with bowed heads for about 10 minutes as members of the public and other members of the royal family looked on.
All four were dressed in official military uniform — a notable change from the first observance on Monday when Andrew, the Duke of York, wore a morning suit in contrast to his siblings' more official outfits. Andrew's Friday military garb broke with royal tradition, which dictates that only working members of the royal family wear military uniforms during ceremonial occasions.
The prince, who stepped away from his royal duties in 2019 and was stripped of his military titles earlier this year over his connection to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, was allowed to don the garb this week as a special request for the Queen.
Prince Harry, who has not been a working royal since 2020, will also reportedly be permitted to wear his military uniform when the Queen's grandchildren stand vigil over her coffin on Saturday night. Harry was stripped of his royal title and military patronages after he and his wife Meghan Markle stepped back from the royal family.
Insider previously reported that the change could be a sign of reconciliation between Harry and the rest of the royal family.
Queen Elizabeth II died peacefully at her Balmoral estate in Scotland on Thursday, and her funeral is set to take place on Monday, September 19.
