Queen Elizabeth II\u2019s eight grandchildren will take part in a vigil to mark her life.<\/p>\n

The 96-year-old monarch \u2013 who died at Balmoral last week aged 96 \u2013 is to have her life and reign commemorated at a special ceremony attended by all her grandchildren; Prince William, Prince Harry, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, Zara Tindall, Peter Philips, Lady Louise Windsor and James, Viscount Severn at Westminster Hall on Saturday, September 17.<\/p>\n

The cousins are expected to stand in silence next to Her Majesty\u2019s coffin as they lead remembrance to their grandmother at the Vigil of the Princes.<\/p>\n

This comes after Queen Elizabeth II\u2019s children, King Charles III, Princess Anne and Prince Andrew and Prince Edward lead a special vigil at Edinburgh\u2019s St Giles Cathedral last Sunday, a move they will repeat on Friday.<\/p>\n

In an unexpected move, Prince Harry \u2013 who was in the army for ten years \u2013 will be permitted to sport military dress at the vigil but it is unclear which one he will don as he no longer holds any military position after he left royal duties behind to live in California with his wife the Duchess of Sussex and their two children, Archie, three, and Lilibet, 15 months.<\/p>\n

The move for the Invictus Games founder to wear his uniform has been lauded as \u201ccommon sense\u201d.<\/p>\n

An insider told the Daily Mirror: \u201cCommon sense has prevailed.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a ludicrous situation given the Duke of Sussex has served his country and is a highly respected member of the armed forces with everything he has done for veterans.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important that the Queen\u2019s grandchildren are all made to feel welcome and comfortable as they grieve their beloved grandmother together.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition, Prince Andrew, the Duke of York has also been given permission to wear military garb after he stepped back from public duty following his implication in the Jeffrey Epstein sex scandal as a \u201cfinal mark of respect\u201d for his mother.<\/p>\n
