The funeral will mark the first time Harry, 36, has come face to face with his only brother, Prince William, in a year, however Meghan Markle will not be by his side.

Heavily pregnant Meghan was advised by her doctor not to travel to the UK, with Harry and Meghan's second baby due in June.

And a source close to Meghan has now told E! that she would have attended the funeral if she weren't heavily pregnant.

The source said: "Meghan wishes she could have flown to the UK to support her husband but has been advised not to due to her pregnancy.

"She would have put all the family tension aside to be there with Harry.

"Harry wants to make sure Meghan and the baby are healthy and not involved in stressful situations."

The source ended by saying that Meghan and Harry still are "still not on amazing terms with the family."

Prince Harry and Prince William will walk apart in Prince Philip's funeral procession, it has emerged.

The two will be separated by cousin Peter, son of Princess Anne, as they follow behind a Land Rover carrying the Duke of Edinburgh's coffin to the service. Prince Charles will also be walking in the eight-minute procession, along with other Royals.

The decision to have the brothers walk apart comes after it was widely reported they would be side-by-side. It follows Harry's explosive Oprah Winfrey interview with wife Meghan - in which he claimed William, 38, and Charles, 72, are "trapped" within the system of the Royal family.

Prince Harry returned solo to the UK from America this week for the funeral following "high tensions" in the family.

Yet despite the fallout over the pair's headline-grabbing Oprah interview, on the day Harry and William are expected to put their differences aside to come together and remember their grandfather.

The funeral, which takes place on Saturday 17 April, will start when the coffin emerges from the state entrance of Windsor Castle at 2:40pm.

Members of the Royal Marines and air stations close to the Prince will act as pall bearers.

Those in the quadrangle will then be able to pay their respects, but members of the public have been asked to stay away due to the ongoing coronavirus restrictions.

Prince Philip's coffin will be transported to St George's Chapel at the castle in a Land Rover which was designed with his help.

The coffin will be received at the foot of the West Steps, and the national anthem will play as it enters the Horseshoe Cloister.

A party of Royal Marines will then carry the coffin up the steps, before pausing for the minute's silence.

The funeral service will then begin as the coffin enters St George's Chapel.

BBC One will be broadcasting the service live on April 17 from 3pm.
