The Vigil of the Princes

     I hope you have taken some time to watch the ceremonies by Queen Elizabeth II's coffin these past days. 

One that is especially poignant:  'The Vigil of the Princes.'

  King Charles and his siblings took one shift --

 and William, brother Harry and their cousins took another. 




The grandchildren arrive about 8:30 in the video -- but I hope you'll watch more than just their entrance, then exit some 15 minutes later. The respect and affection shown by the passing mourners is just as moving. 

More in the video below. Her Majesty's funeral service is the 19th. 



God rest the Queen.
