As Harry disembarked he was met by security and then entered a black Range Rover, reportedly to be driven to Kensington Palace.

This protocol is in place under the Government’s Test to Release plan.

It is planned for Harry to walk behind the coffin alongside his brother Prince William and the rest of his family at Saturday’s funeral at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor.

The Sussexes paid the briefest of tributes to Philip on social media the day of his death. They spared just two sentences for the man who helped shape Harrys’s life: “In loving memory of His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh, 1921-2021. Thank you for your service… you will be greatly missed.”
In sharp contrast, the rest of the royals paid homage to the 99-year old patriarch who died at Windsor Castle with his wife of 73 years, Queen Elizabeth, at his side.
