Prince William thanked people for waiting in line for many hours for the Queen’s lying in state, as he shook hands dedicated members of the public. Several people shed a tear after meeting him, and one woman told him: “You’ll be a brilliant king one day”. Charles left before William, both of them in cars surrounded by police vehicles.

Whilst in Lambeth, the King also met police staff, who he thanked for their planning and delivery of policing in the days leading up to his mother’s funeral, as well as workers at London Ambulance Service, London Fire Brigade, Transport for London and the Army.
Last night, the new King was joined by his family members Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward to perform a vigil beside the late monarch's coffin in Westminster Abbey.
The royals stood together in Westminster Hall for 10 minutes as they guarded Queen Elizabeth II's coffin on Friday evening. Charles stood at the head of the late Queen's coffin, Andrew at the foot, and Anne and Edward on either side. The royal men wore military uniform, while Anne performed the solemn moment in royals and blues.
They were greeted warmly by members of the queue
On Saturday evening, the grandchildren of the Queen are expected to do the same in another emotional ceremony.
Anne was accompanied by her husband Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, while the Countess of Wessex was present to support her husband Prince Edward.
Onlooking the touching scene stood fellow royal family members, Princess Beatrice, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, Princess Eugenie, Jack Brooksbank, Lady Louise Windsor, James, Viscount Severn, Peter Phillips.
The King also met with members of the police force
Zara and Mike Tindall were also present with two of their three children Mia, eight, and Lena, four. This is the first time we have seen any of the younger royals during the official mourning period for Her Majesty, with no appearances from the Wales children or the Sussex children, who are thought to still be in the US.
The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, The Duke of Kent, Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, Princess Alexandra, and Lady Ogilvy were all also present at the hall.
