While it’s custom for those who hold military rank — like Prince Charles, Princess Anne and Prince William — to wear their uniforms to state occasions, the entire royal family will be attending Prince Philip’s funeral in standard mourning attire. Princes William and Harry will be separated by their cousin, Peter Phillips, as they walk behind their grandfather’s coffin this weekend. Days later, Prince William told reporters that the royal family was “very much not a racist family” and said that, while he hadn’t spoken to his brother yet, he planned to. On Sunday, Prince Harry returned to London for the first time since he stepped down as a working royal in 2020.
