The "fab four" reunited once again at a service for Queen Elizabeth.

On Wednesday, the Queen's coffin was transferred from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall, where it will lie in state in the days leading up to the late monarch's funeral.

The Queen died on Thursday, September 8, after 70 years on the throne. She was 96 at the time of her death.

Members of the royal family processed behind the Queen's coffin as it made its way to Westminster Hall, including King Charles III, his siblings, and his sons, Prince William and Prince Harry.

On Saturday, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle joined the new Prince and Princess of Wales for a walkabout at Windsor Castle. Prince William extended a last-minute invitation to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to join the walk, according to The Times of London.

The brothers looked stoic as they marched behind the Queen's coffin, and when they arrived at Westminster Hall, they joined their wives for a ceremony for the late monarch.

There has reportedly been a rift between Prince Harry and his family since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped back from the royal family in 2020.

Harry and Markle's relationship only grew more distant after their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, during which they said members of the royal family made racist remarks about Archie, the firm disregarded Markle's mental-health issues, Kate Middleton made Markle cry during the week of her wedding, and Charles cut the couple off financially following their step back.

But Prince Harry and Markle seem to be standing united with the royal family in the wake of the Queen's death given their appearances at Windsor and Westminster Hall.

King Charles III also sent love to the couple in his first address as monarch, and the trio were photographed in Buckingham Palace together ahead of the arrival of the Queen's coffin.

As Insider's Mikhaila Friel reported, reconciliation could be more likely if the king gives Archie and Lilibet princely titles.
