There were many doubts about whether the husband of Meghan Markle could use said uniform, since it is not an official part of the Royal Family. However, he has done so at the express request and permission of his father, Charles III.




Peter Phillips, Zara Tindall, Princesses Beatriz and Eugenia, Luisa and Viscount Severn, Jacobo, have also participated. The oldest of all is Peter Phillips, 44, while Jacobo, the youngest, is 14.




The eight have surrounded the coffin and have remained with their backs to him for about 15 minutes in what has already become a tradition of the British monarchy. This tradition is formally called the Vigil of the Princes. It opened in 1936, when King Edward VIII and his three brothers, Albert, Henry and George, surrounded the coffin of his father, King George V.
