Prince William and Prince Harry won’t walk side-by-side Saturday as they follow their grandfather Prince Philip in the funeral. The step minimises the chances of any awkward moments between the brothers who are grappling with strained relations. The relations became sour since Harry’s decision to step away from royal duties last year.

The coffin of the senior royal will be loaded into the Land Rover for an eight-minute procession to the gates of St. George's Chapel. His Royal Highness's coffin will be carried in a purpose-built Land Rover - which The Duke was involved in the designing.

Devotees of Prince Philip mourn his death and pray for his return to the royal family in new life. Admirers of Prince stemmed from their legend of the pale-skinned son of a local mountain god who ventured across the seas to look for a rich and powerful woman to marry. The villagers` special interest in the late Philip took the form of daily prayers for his blessing of their banana and yam crops and placing photos of him in village homes.
