THE PEACEMAKER | How Kate brought Prince William and Prince Harry together | Sunrise

well they were the images that many were hoping to see on the day her majesty uh said farewell to her husband of 73 years after so much conjecture about what would happen when princess william and harry came together today this was the result harry smiling as he spoke to the duchess of cambridge outside the chapel then harry kate and william talking like old times as they made their way back to windsor castle together seven news europe bureau chief hugh whitfield is at windsor castle you they appeared extremely relaxed together and i suppose they're the only two people that know what it's like to hold that role of prince in the positions that they do [Applause] yeah exactly i think also the important thing to keep in mind is that they knew the cameras would be watching and you also see the important role that kate played in bringing those princes together following a funeral that was all about the service of an incredible life from prince philip it was a ceremonial funeral with no fuss designed by prince philip himself just like his hearse a modified land rover to carry his coffin to george's chapel on top of the casket in a sealed envelope a private note from her majesty on the toughest of days the duke of edinburgh's children and grandchildren took the long walk to the chapel following the land rover today there would be no military uniforms as traditionally worn the queen ordering them instead to wear suits with military medals to avoid controversy charles and anne taking the lead but it was william and harry most people were watching her majesty making the journey in her bentley with her lady in waiting it was our first glimpse of the queen on her day of heartbreak wearing a face mask according to britain's covert rules then at 3 p.m as the duke's coffin reached the chapel entrance gunfire as the united kingdom fell silent in a mark of respect number one inside the chapel a haunting image of the queen alone and barely visible with a big hat and that mask hiding her face socially distant from the rest of her family listening to the dean of windsor giving thanks for the remarkable life of her husband with grateful hearts we remember the many ways in which his long life has been a blessing to us we have been inspired by his unwavering loyalty to our queen by his service to the nation and the commonwealth by his courage fortitude and faith then after the service the moment perhaps few people had anticipated william harry and cade looking as close as ever chatting just like old times surely one image that would gladden the heart of the queen on such a day well it is often said that funerals are moments of reconciliation and that is a sight let's be honest that many people really wanted to see not least those in the family themselves so the family continued walking up chapel hill to the state apartments here at windsor castle where there has been some sort of awake it's described by the palace's private family time if it was awake they would have been allowed to gather inside but the numbers would have been capped at 15 likes so much of today like so much of life in britain over the last 12 months it has been impacted by covert [Music] guys [Music] you
