The Earl and Countess of Wessex were present to support their children as Louise and James are comparatively younger than their cousins, a royal source told CNN. Harry wore military uniform during the appearance at the request of King Charles III, a royal source previously told CNN. It comes two days before the Queen's state funeral on Monday. Prince William appeared to be in high spirits as he talked to the crowd and asked several people how long they had been waiting.
