Princes William and Harry led the historic vigil on Saturday the 17th September, but what is the Vigil of the Princes?

A timeline of The Queen's funeral. Who will be attending The Queen's funeral? In 2002, the four grandsons of the Queen Mother, the then Prince of Wales, the Duke of York, the Earl of Wessex and Viscount Linley, now the Earl of Snowdon, kept vigil at her coffin in Westminster Hall. She began her freelance journalism career after graduating from Nottingham Trent University with an MA in Magazine Journalism, receiving an NCTJ diploma, and earning a First Class BA (Hons) in Journalism at the British and Irish Modern Music Institute. In doing so, Princess Anne became the first female member of the Royal Family to hold vigil. This tradition dubbed the Vigil of the Princes refers to occasions when members of the British royal family have stood guard during the lying in state of one of their relatives. A vigil is a period of 'devotional watching' or observance, usually undertaken during the night before a significant event. Either side of Prince William stood his cousins, Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips, the children of the Princess Royal, while Prince Harry stood with the Duke of York’s two daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. The two young siblings, aged 18 and 14 respectively, garnered great praise for their poise and composure during the vigil across social media, with many drawing comparisons between Viscount Severn and a young Prince William.
