Browsing: The Metro

The Metro takes a slightly different approach to the other papers and instead looks ahead at today’s events. Prince William and Prince Harry will walk behind the Queen’s coffin with King Charles on Wednesday, the Metro reports. The paper claims it will bring back memories of the boys walking behind their mother’s coffin in 1997 when William was just 15 and Harry 12.

“The King’s Vigil”. Three words with the same powerful image of King Charles, that features on so many of the papers, is the cover of the Metro. The newspaper adds how the Queen’s only daughter Princess Anne became the first woman to be part of the historic Vigil for the Princes ceremony. It has only previously been carried out by male members of the Royal Family, it reports.

The moving photo of the Queen’s coffin, draped in the Scottish flag, dominates the Metro’s front.

The paper says foreign heads of state will all have to take an escorted coach together to the Queen’s funeral, a new report claims.
