Prince Harry attended the late monarch's sate funeral service at Westminster Abbey on Monday - we take a look at some of his sweetest moments.

The Duke of Sussex united with Peter Phillips outside Westminster Abbey where they joined King Charles III, Prince William, the Princess Royal and Prince Andrew. Prince Harry joined members of the royal family as they congregated outside Windsor Castle. During the Queen's state funeral, Prince Harry shared a candid moment with his niece, Princess Charlotte. The brothers were side by side – unlike at the Duke of Edinburgh's funeral when their cousin Peter Phillips walked between them. Last week the Duke of Sussex showcased his special bond with his cousin Zara Tindall following Saturday's moving vigil at Westminster Hall. Putting their differences aside, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex joined William and Kate as they paid a visit to Windsor Castle to view floral tributes left by the public.
